Wales have been operating a business as usual policy as they prepare for their Six Nations finale against Scotland.
The Principality Stadium game goes ahead even though the continuing spread of coronavirus has led to a number of sporting leagues across Europe playing behind closed doors or postponing matches.
The Welsh Rugby Union were being guided by government advice on the matter, but it was announced on Thursday afternoon the fixture will be played this weekend.
Wales have been keen to get the game, provided the advice from experts said it is okay to do so.
“I’m across it with Martyn Williams, our team manager,” said boss Wayne Pivac.
“For the rest of the blokes, it’s pretty much work as normal. We’re in isolation really, in this camp scenario. The guys have prepared well.
“We’re looking forward to the weekend because the last couple of games have been frustrating for everybody concerned. We’ve made a few errors at critical times and lost a couple of close games.
“So we’d like the opportunity to get back out there and see if we can get that performance that we’re looking for being spread across the 80 minutes, having a bit more control than we have had at times.”
Pivac continued: “Our team manager is looking after the off field scenarios and dealing with our chief executive Martyn Phillips. We just wait to hear from him."
At this stage, nobody in the Wales camp has been tested for the virus but head of medical Prav Mathema has briefed everyone in camp about the preventative measures they should be taking.
When asked if he was comfortable with thousands of fans converging on Cardiff city centre this weekend, Pivac repeated his stance that they’d follow the lead from those higher up the food chain.
“I’ve got a huge responsibility within the team to make sure we’re functioning as well as we can,” he said.
“That takes up the majority of my time. Obviously, there are people that make those decisions and we’ll follow those decisions whichever way they go.
“That’s just the way it is.”
