Rugby-South Africa test against Georgia called off because of COVID-19 cases
JOHANNESBURG, July 7 (Reuters) - South Africa´s test against Georgia, scheduled for Johannesburg on Friday, has been cancelled because of COVID-19 cases in both camps, SA Rugby said on Wednesday.
The match was supposed to be a warm-up for the world champions Springboks ahead of their three test series against the British & Irish Lions, which is scheduled to start later this month.
"Following a review by the medical advisory group this morning, it was confirmed that the risk of further infection made it impossible to continue with the match," SA Rugby said in a statement.
The Springbok playing and support staff returned 12 positive tests for COVID-19 this week, while Georgia had four. (Writing by Mark Gleeson; Editing by Jon Boyle)
