Wests Tigers have become the first NRL club to have to deal with COVID-19 within their inner sanctum, after a trainer tested positive to the virus.

The Tigers were forced to cancel training on Thursday after being told of the positive case, as well as a scheduled school visit in Campbelltown.

All players and staff were then sent for tests, after having spent the previous two days working with the infected trainer.

Training will only be able to resume if no players show symptoms or return a positive test, otherwise it could be called off for up to a week with players isolating.

Both the trainer and all players working with him are double vaccinated.

Glad all were vaccinated.

Hope noone else contracted it.

Wonder if it's required (or encouraged) by the club for WT employees to do the contact tracing thing as well?

Whatever the guidelines are set by NSW Health they’ll do it but I hope the same that no one else has contracted it and hopefully they are all safe and whoever it was that has it I wish them a speedy recovery
