Lions fans told to leave AFL clash with Geelong following latest Brisbane COVID-19 case
Queenslanders who travelled down to Geelong to watch the Lions’ clash with the Cats on Friday night were told to leave the stadium after news of the latest Brisbane COVID case came through.
Key points:
- Spectators who had arrived from Queensland since March 12 were asked to leave Kardinia Park
- The match was allowed to go ahead after Lions players gained an exemption from the Victorian government
- TV commentators Wayne Carey and Luke Hodge were also instructed to leave the venue
The instruction came after a Brisbane landscaper tested positive to coronavirus, with genomic testing linking his case to a previous cluster involving two overseas travellers and a doctor at the city’s Princess Alexandra Hospital.
