England A v Scotland A: Scots camp isolating after positive Covid cases
- Published
Scottish Rugby had said on Saturday they had hoped Sunday's game would still go ahead
Scotland's squad and management are self-isolating until "next week" after three positive Covid tests in the camp.
Sunday's international between England A and Scotland A in Leicester was called off on the day of the match.
It had originally been in doubt after nine Scotland players went into isolation on Saturday.
But the Scottish Rugby Union now says all players and coaching staff will isolate regardless of being deemed a close contact or not.
"It's obviously been a difficult few days. However, the health and wellbeing of our squad and management is the number one priority - and that remains paramount in our decision-making process," said interim Scotland head coach Mike Blair.
Scottish Rugby initially said the squad and management team had undergone a round of PCR testing on Saturday morning.
"Scottish Rugby can confirm that three positive tests for Covid-19 have been returned," it said in a statement.
"The three members of the camp that tested positive have started self-isolation and the Scottish Rugby medical team have since begun internal contact-tracing to determine those that are close contacts, and as such will also have to self-isolate as per Scottish government guidelines."
