BREAKING: Staff catering for Warriors pre game meals and others from the stadium have been sent home due to close contact. Players forced to stay on bus while clean takes place. Food thrown out. Farcical situation as local take out food being sourced. @9NewsSyd @NRLonNine

An employee of Georges River Council identified as a casual contact of a positive COVID-19 case on Sunday. However, she had been at work when she found out.
Danny Weidlerย is reporting that the stadium are now throwing out all food in that area and desperately sourcing "local take out food" for the game.
The game is expected to go off without a hitch despite the scare with the areas the staff were around being cleaned throughly before the game starts.
There is expected to be no change to kick-off time at this stage.
