Notts County have announced that four of their players have tested positive for Covid, but their game against Maidenhead will still go ahead.
The club has not revealed which players have contracted the virus after a round of testing was carried out yesterday.
Chief executive Jason Turner said: “First and foremost, we would like to wish the individuals concerned a speedy recovery.
“Despite these positive results, however, and following close dialogue with medical officers from the National League and Maidenhead United, this afternoon’s match can go ahead safely. We have also made our most recent opponents, Sutton United, aware of the situation.
“We already have stringent matchday procedures in place to minimise the risk of spreading the virus and I would like to make it clear that all Notts County representatives with access to the red zone at today’s match returned negative results last night.
“Early next week we will carry out another round of testing as part of our continued commitment to keeping ourselves and the wider public safe, and I would like to thank our owners for their continued support of this important testing regime.”
The news comes on a day when Barnet’s game against Hartlepool was postponed after a Bees player tested positive for coronavirus.
And Altrincham, who played Notts 10 days ago, have also seen two games postponed after a number of first team players also contracted the illness.
Notts boss Neal Ardley is expected to address the issue in his post-match press conference this afternoon.
