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.

Hopefully Ireland are loving the favorites tag. That can only help the underdog ABs. I do expect it will be tough for the men in black though especially without a couple of crucial players. But only a fool writes off an All Black team so we are in with a chance.
Go to commentsAgreed.
The childish and embarrasing patting on the back , shouting, the 3,qs running 20 yards to slap the forwards backs is pathetic.
It just show reverence to the better team and a minor success worth shouting about.
If a top, top coach was in charge of England he would put a stop to it ,
Unfortunately , we have Borthwick .
No ones idea of a top coach and no CV to prove it.
He can't even see when his players are on top.
To even think Ford was up to playing against the AB,s shows favouritism gone mad.
Ford was more than rusty.
He wasn't up to the job.
He has now only played another 17 minutes rugby this season and the utterly shambolic effort he gave means he should be sent back to Sale to get some game time and ruddy backbone .
It wasn't though he was up against a flying wing forward like Marcus was when he pulled down Sititi In full flight.
It was one of the smallest guys on the pitch . Pathetic.
At international level to say he can't tackle cuts no ice. Not these days
He doesn't have Owen to cover for him . And it is showing.
