Perth has been plunged into a snap three-day lockdown which will have major AFL fixture ramifications.
The outbreak occurred in a Perth quarantine hotel. Two people have since tested positive and a third travelled to Melbourne.
North Melbourne is currently in Western Australia ahead of their Saturday night clash with Fremantle.
GM of Football Brady Rawlings told reporters the club is awaiting clarity from the AFL on what to do.
The WA government has announced the game will go ahead, but without a crowd.
West Coast is currently in Geelong ahead of their own game this weekend.
No teams are travelling to Perth next week, with the Derby scheduled to take place.
Tonight's NBL and Super Rugby games in Perth are going ahead and with 100 per cent capacity.
More to come.
Crowd allowed at @PerthWildcats and @westernforce games tonight / with masks. At 100% capacity. But not tomorrow at @OptusStadium. Make sense it that, if you can.
