A Leitrim club has informed the public of a positive Covid-19 case "relating to members".

Leitrim Gaels GFC confirmed the news with a statement on its Facebook page early this morning.

It comes after Kiltubrid GAA took the decision to suspended all club activities for 48 hours last Friday due to a member’s close contact with a confirmed Covid-19 case.

"Leitrim Gaels GFC have been made aware of positive Covid 19 cases relating to members of the Club. The club have fully implemented HSE and GAA protocols.

"Team members are regarded as ‘casual contacts’ and are not required to isolate or cease sporting activities ... There is no further action required from the club at this point in time and we will continue to monitor the situation and club activities can continue as normal, though we understand and appreciate that members may not wish to participate at this time.

“We thank the family for the notification and send them our best wishes during these challenging times."
