Over the coming nights there will be a number of preventative measures and recommendations implemented to ensure the safety of all players.
What is Coronavirus (COVID-19)?
Coronavirus (COVID-19) is a respiratory illness caused by a new virus.
Symptoms range from a mild cough to pneumonia. Some people recover easily, others may get very sick very quickly.
There is strong evidence that it spreads person to person. Good hygiene can prevent infection.
