The Carlton Football Club can confirm a member of its AFLW program has tested positive to COVID-19.

The fully vaccinated individual conducted a Rapid Antigen Test on arrival outside the Club on Tuesday afternoon, which subsequently returned a positive result. 

The individual then immediately undertook a PCR Covid Test outside the Club, before returning home to isolate as soon as the test was completed. The person did not enter IKON Park at any stage.

The PCR test returned a positive result on Wednesday, with the individual now required to self-isolate for 14 days.

One additional member of the Club’s AFLW program was deemed a close contact. That person has tested negative to COVID-19 however will continue to self-isolate for the required seven days.

The Club is providing continued support to both individuals and asks that their privacy be respected.

Every player and staff member associated with the Club’s AFLW program is fully vaccinated.
