Dragons Rugby has returned one positive case for COVID-19 in the region’s management team, as part of Welsh Rugby’s testing programme in the round of tests taken week commencing Monday, October 26.
All subsequent Public Health Wales and Government guidelines are being followed and the individual – who is asymptomatic - is currently isolating.
The individual involved was part of the travelling group to Ireland at the weekend. Members of the wider management group have now been identified by Dragons as potential close contacts, due to the travel protocols that are designed to protect players, and are currently self-isolating. None of the Ulster team or players have been affected.
This wider group includes Director of Dragons Rugby, Dean Ryan, who will not be in attendance for the Guinness PRO14 fixture with Munster Rugby at Rodney Parade this Sunday afternoon. The fixture is not affected by the case.
Given this is a confidential and private health matter, Dragons Rugby will be making no further comment at this stage.
