"Today the football club was informed by a member of it’s staff that a member of his family has tested positive for coronavirus (COVID -19).

Following consultation’s and discussions between the National League’s COVID officer,  and both King’s Lynn Town’s COVID and medical officers , the decision has been taken to postpone the first team’s fixture with Braintree Town, the Under 21’s Thurlow Nunn, Division One North game at Needham Market Reserves and Lynn Ladies ERWFL match at Histon, scheduled for Sunday.

The Under 12’s and Under 16’s fixtures in the Junior Premier League (JPL) will both still be played with the former playing Peterborough Sports at the West Lynn Community Centre pitch and the latter travelling to Holland FC. Both games will kick off at 10:30am.

Everyone at the football sends it’s best wishes for a speedy recovery to the person involved.

The club will be making no further comment on this matter for the time being."

This may cause havoc to most leagues this year with teams calling off games at short notice. Will we be able to finish the season in full or are there contingency plans in place to manage curtailed league/s 

Best wishes to the affected family and all others concerned - keep safe all.

There's already been multiple clubs that had to forfeit games in the FA Cup because they've had postive cases and had to isolate.

Does this mean the first team can’t train together now for X number of days? It can’t help the preperation in readiness for the opening day.   

I guess this is the way things will be for sometime to come.

Once the season kicks off, I can see plenty of situations like St. Mirren’s current one. It seems the emphasis may be on the games happening so long as a team can put 11 bodies, any 11, on the pitch. Could lead to some odd fixtures over the course of the season.

Sadly this could be the ‘new norm’ build up to games and then the 11 hour postponed , could even be the case teams have already traveled to away games .. obviously safety 1st but from a football fans view gutting to think the biggest season ever and we possibly can’t be a part of it or for the players a mix of game , self isolate, game , etc could hamper team spirit and preparation...

Could also lead to alot of ducking and diving of fixtures...

I guess it doesn't mean they can't train together...the ladies twitter feed said that they'd trained last night in preparation for the w/end.
So have the club received the test results??

I believe the results will be available on a stream, for a fee, for fans to see once they're announced.
