There have been 6 positive Coronavirus tests across the Wexford Senior Football and Senior Hurling panels.

Rapid test results from both squads revealed that four footballers from the north of the county and 2 hurlers have contracted Covid 19. The players are now self isolating and it's expected that Wexford footballers will play their National League game against Limerick this weekend with a reduced panel. Meanwhile the Wexford under 20 hurlers have been stood down for the time being after a number of players tested positive for the Covid 19. Health Minister Stephen Donnelly told the Morning Mix, sporting activity itself isn't being seen as a cause of the spread but the events before and after a game that is the problem: [audio wav="https://www.southeastradio.ie/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/donnelly-on-gaa.wav"][/audio]
