The Melbourne Storm's NRL home game against the New Zealand Warriors on Friday night has been moved to Sydney because of the spike of coronavirus cases in Victoria.
The match will now take place at Netstrata Jubilee Stadium, with the league's Apollo team saying the health and safety of players, staff and the wider community was paramount.
The shifting of the Storm game comes after Victoria's number of coronavirus cases increased by 16 overnight.
The state's active COVID-19 case numbers are the highest they have been in more than two months after six days of double-digit growth.
The Storm will take on the Warriors at 8pm Friday.
