THE VAST majority of the Western Bulldogs' AFLW program are set to be released from isolation on Friday, but a very small group are facing a second week of home training.
The Dogs went into isolation last week after a member of the program tested positive to COVID-19, and the group's 'day four' tests have all came back negative.
If all 'day seven' tests also come back negative, the club is set to resume training on Friday – however, a very small portion are still single-jabbed, and will have to undergo the full 14-day quarantine.

The Western Bulldogs said they were unable to divulge who will be isolating for 14 days due to medical privacy, or confirm whether they were players, staff or a mixture of both.
If players are in the 14-day group, the high-performance and medical staff will work to provide equipment and training programs for their second week in isolation.
The individual who tested positive is fully vaccinated and attended training last Thursday symptom-free, with the rapid antigen test presenting a negative result, but the weekly PCR test came back as positive on Friday night.

The team has this week adapted their training as best they can to the confines of their own homes, garages and backyards, and have had video check-ins at their usual training times.
Richmond is now back in full training following a player testing positive to COVID-19 three weeks ago.
