Sporting events are continuing to be affected by coronavirus

The Republic of Ireland women's team face Montengro this afternoon in their Euro 2021 qualifier - that game in Budva will now take place behind closed doors.

Tonight's Premier League game between Manchester City and Arsenal has been postponed, after staff at the north London club came into contact with the owner of the Greek side Olympiakos, who's tested positive for Covid-19.

While Wolves say playing their Europa League tie at Olympiakos tomorrow - even behind closed doors - is an "unnecessary risk".

The Premier League side have had a request to postpone the match in Athens rejected by Uefa.

Three people working for Formula One teams are in self-isolation after being tested for coronavirus at the Australian Grand Prix.

And this evening's Champions League tie between Borussia Dortmund and Paris Saint Germain will be played behind closed doors in the French capital.

The German side take a 2-1 lead into the second leg.

Meanwhile a GAA club in County Meath has announced that a member of the club tested positive for Coronavirus yesterday.

Simonstown Gaels says the member is an adult player who recently went on holiday in Italy.

The member was one of two players on the trip abroad. In advance of their return these players agreed to a period of two-weeks of self-isolation.

The second player is still in isolation and currently showing no signs of symptoms. Neither player has visited the club since their return.

Th club informed the HSE and the Meath County Board and is seeking advice and guidance from the HSE.
