Members of the Hurricanes squad have tested positive for COVID-19, with assistant coach Chris Gibbes confirming an undisclosed number of players have contracted the virus.
The Hurricanes are scheduled to host competition newcomers Moana Pasifika at Wellington this Saturday.
Gibbes says what he can confirm is that they have COVID in their environment and they are working hard to manage it.
