Ulster's Rainbow Cup clash with Scarlets on Saturday has been cancelled after after four of their player's tested positive for Covid-19.
The province have confirmed that the four players were asymptomatic and are now self-isolating as a result, and Scarlets have been handed four points as there is no time for the game to be re-fixed.
The province also suspended all senior and academy training sessions, with further PCR testing of all players and staff due to take place tomorrow, Friday.
Ulster Rugby CEO, Jonny Petrie, added: "We appreciate the news that our upcoming fixture is cancelled will be deeply disappointing for our supporters, particularly those who were due to join us at Kingspan Stadium on Saturday, but we are in complete agreement that the collective decision to cancel the match is the correct one.
"Our priority continues to be the health and safety of our players and staff, as well as the wider community, so we will continue to work closely, together with the IRFU, with the Public Health Agency to ensure that we follow the necessary public health advice, as we provide support to the individuals involved."
