All GAA activities at a number of Cork clubs have been suspended due to a potential coronavirus case.

Players from the clubs in the Carbery division are reported to have come into contact with a person who has since tested positive.

In a statement on their Facebook page Argideen Rangers have confirmed they are one of the clubs, and have stopped all activity until Saturday at the earliest.

The suspension of activity is in line with the GAA's return to play protocols, until contact tracers carry out full close contact assessment and testing.

The Argideen Rangers statement reads:

"Just to let our members know that as a precautionary measure we have decided to press pause on all group club activities ‪until Saturday, July 11th.‬ We will update you again on Saturday.

This is a precautionary measure, and is because a number of club members have told us that they may have been in contact with a person subsequently confirmed to have Covid-19.

We in Argideen Rangers GAA feel it sensible and prudent to temporarily suspend both underage and adult group activities. We understand that anyone identified by Public Health authorities as a close contact will be tested for Covid-19.

We will keep you posted on the resumption of activities, and we remind you to respect the privacy of all involved."
