“The facts are that the player presented with flu-like symptoms after being in contact with a friend who had visited China, even though that person had self-isolated for 14 days following his return to the country and hadn’t displayed any symptoms of the virus.
“It was another two weeks after the isolation period that the friend visited the player late last month.
“We felt it was important to be proactive and diligent to ensure the safety of our players, staff and broader community.”

"Some Fremantle players will avoid seeing their partners over the next few weeks in a bid to protect themselves and the team from the coronavirus.
The Dockers have gone into isolation mode ahead of the start of the AFL season and are leaving no stone unturned in protecting their players.

The Dockers insist they haven’t banned players from seeing partners who don’t have the option to work from home.
“There has categorically been no directive from the club that players ask their partners to either work from home or move out,” a spokesperson said."

Fremantle captain Nat Fyfe will be investigated by police after stopping for a surf in Margaret River.
Police Commissioner Chris Dawson said police would investigate.
"Surfing is not an essential activity, unless you're a professional surfer," he said.
"So on the face of it, it looks like there are some questions to be answered. Police will investigate."

... after being investigated by WA police, it was found that Fyfe was indeed an essential traveller as he had been helping out his family’s transport business.
"It has been confirmed that Mr Fyfe entered the region in order to provide transport services and was waiting for a truck to be loaded when he went surfing," WA Police said in a statement.
