Canberra Region Rugby League released a statement on Friday clarifying doubts surrounding the Bulldogs' fixture in Yass against the Magpies, which said the latest advice from ACT Health and ACT Sport & Recreation was to proceed as per normal.
"There are no restrictions as such on ACT people travelling to Goulburn and that the ACT Health advice is simply for the usual precautions and protocols to be undertaken but no restrictions," the statement said.
"There have been no positive cases since the 19 May or 24 May advice alert as to the exposure locations.
"Therefore, the CRRL believes that there is no reason for matches not to go ahead as scheduled on the match days of June 4,5 and 6 at their current locations.
"Again, we encourage anyone who has symptoms to be tested and quarantine appropriately."
