Rebels issue warning after fan who attended AAMI Park tests positive for coronavirus
By Online Editors
A Super Rugby spectator at last weekend's Melbourne Rebels game has tested positive for coronavirus.
The man attended AAMI Park in Melbourne on Saturday for the Rebels' fixture against the Lions.
"The gentleman was seated in section nine and at this stage, we are unaware of his exact seating... due to the withholding of his identity at this point," Rebels chief executive Baden Stephenson said in a statement on Wednesday.
"We are taking this matter very seriously and we are working with all relevant stakeholders to determine any potential consequences of his attendance.”
Stephenson said Victoria's Department of Health and Human Services described staff and spectators who may have come into contact with the man as "casual contacts".
As such, they are not required to take any action but if they become unwell in the next 14 days they should seek medical attention and be tested for coronavirus.

Turn it up. Give me your john A game would ya!
Go to commentsI didn't really get the should tone from it, but maybe because I was just reading it as my own thoughts.
What I read it as was examples of how they played well enough in every game to be able to win it.
Yeah I dunno if Ben wouldn't see it that way (someone else would for sure need to point it out to him though), I'm more in the Ben not appreciating that those close losses werent one off scenarios camp. Sure you can look at dubious decisions causing them to have to play with 14 or 13 men at the death as viable reasons but even in the games they won without such difficulties they made a real struggle of it (compared to how good some of their first half play was). This kind of article where you trying to point out the 3 losses really would most likely have been wins only really makes sense/works when your other performances make those 3 games (or endings) stand out.
There might have been a sentence here and there to ensure some good comment numbers but when he's signing off the article by saying things like ..
and..
I don't really see it. Always making sure people are upto date with the SH standing/perspective! NZ went through some tough times with so many different perspectives and reasons why, but then it was.. amusing how.. behind everyone was once they turned a corner. More of these 'unfortunate' results returned against SA and France at the start of the RWC which made it extra tasty to catch other teams out when they did bring it. So that created some 'conscious' perspective that I just kept going and sharing re thoughts on similar predicaments of other teams, I had been really confident that Wallabies displays vs NZ were real, that the Argentines can backup their thing against Aus and SA (and so obviously the rest), and current one is that England are actually consistent and improving with their attack (which everyone should get onboard with), and I'm expecting a more dominant display against Japan (even though they should have more of their experienced internationals for this one) that highlights further growth from July. 👍
