As worrying as it is I think that relates to only a 2% positive rate of infection, given where clubs were with outbreaks at Sale, Wasps & Saints recently for cases to have dropped to that level despite quite high levels of cases elsewhere in society too, I think shows that clubs can keep a handle on it.

Puts everything into a different perspective - best wishes to all those affected. Here’s hoping to a quick recovery for the players and staff!

Some things are bigger than sport!

Well its us......

You would laugh it wasn't so serious, as a club we just can't catch a break.

[TigerFeetSteve]

Fingers crossed for all involved!

As worrying it being us is, like someone said with regards to Sale now being less likely to concede during the season now is better than a few days before the Glaws match.

Hope all players and staff recover fully, and the situation is contained.

Not surprising given the number of cases in Oadby and Wigston throughout the pandemic. It's been a hot spot for sometime, not sure why.

Hopefully everyone is ok and able to get back to training soon.

Funny how noone is criticising the club/players unlike when Sale got an outbreak...

This just shows that no matter how careful you may be, the threat of the virus is there. Lets hope that we can back to some form of normality as soon as possible. The Club have taken the correct decision and thoughts go out to those affected for a full and quick recovery.

Trust me if it turns out they were all at a BBQ or the club start shenanigans over game cancellations it will be ton of bricks time!

Almost like there is a difference between 2 days into preseason when no game has been played and 7 weeks into the season after playing a team.

One club shut down training completely and has separated all players until proven safe to regather after going through additional testing.

The other was to claim they were ready to play a match 2 days after the positive tests, WITHOUT any further testing, this onlydidn't happen because their opponents amd PHE raised concerns, it was then proven in the additional tests they didn't think were needed that there had been a spread within the team and players, that would have put opposition at risk had they played the game.

If Sale had come out and said players are isolating we can't play our match till testing proves it's safe and so we've asked for a postponement. If they did that then I'd have a lot more sympathy.

Yes, this. Criticism of Sale not because they returned positive tests but because they thought fine to endanger opposition players and push ahead with playing the match.
