Two senior Leinster players have tested positive for Covid-19 and are self-isolating.
A statement from the province today has also said that a number of close contacts of the two players have been identified and these players are also self-isolating.
Leinster's St. Stephen's Day PRO14 derby against Munster had to be postponed last week due to an investigation by Leinster into their Covid-19 PRC testing.
Results of the investigation would not have been returned in time to meet guidelines set by public health authorities.
