Warriors can confirm that all matches under the auspices of Premiership Rugby will be postponed with immediate effect for five weeks until Monday April 20.
The home fixtures affected are the Gallagher Premiership matches against Gloucester Rugby and Harlequins and Cavaliers’ Premiership Rugby Shield match against Gloucester. The RFU have also suspended all rugby activity until April 14 which means that Women’s home Tyrrells Premier 15s matches against Gloucester-Hartpury, Darlington Mowden Park and Loughborough Lightning will also be postponed.
This follows the recommendation by the UK Government that social gatherings of people should be avoided in an attempt to restrict the spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19).
We appreciate that this will cause some inconvenience but the safety and well-being of all visitors to Sixways, our staff and players and the wider community is of paramount importance.
The coronavirus poses such a serious threat to public health that the imposition of exceptional measures are required to combat it.
We will continue to follow advice and instructions from the UK Government via Premiership Rugby on a situation that is fluid and fast-changing.
Our staff are working hard to deal with the challenges that this decision will inevitably bring. If you have a query please contact hello@warriors.co.uk not the club’s main switchboard.
Once we have more information we will communicate it via our website, social media channels and through the media.
Thank you for your co-operation and understanding at this difficult time. The situation is uncertain but, by working together, we hope that normal service can be resumed as soon as possible.
