AFL Chief Executive Gillon McLachlan has revealed hat he is experiencing cold-like symptoms and will be in self-isolation.

It comes amid news that Victoria recorded a whopping 288 new cases of COVID-19 overnight.

McLachlan has been regularly tested since the season's resumption but not in the past two weeks. With Melbourne returning to stage 3 lockdown, he may be tested again.

โ€œIโ€˜ve had a number of them (tests). Iโ€™ve been locked in my room and probably thinking about having another one. I had one a couple of weeks ago,โ€ McLachlan told 3AW.

โ€œIโ€˜ve been locked in a room since I was feeling average yesterday, so Iโ€™ve been avoiding [my kids], but itโ€™s getting increasingly hard.โ€

All 10 Victorian clubs made the move to interstate hubs this week due to the spike of COVD-19 cases in the state.
