A total of 323 tests were carried out at the four play-offs semi-finalists, plus last week's beaten teams Leeds Rhinos and Warrington Wolves.

Rhinos and Wolves had been on stand-by in case of Covid-19 outbreaks at the other clubs, but will now cease regular testing for the off-season.

This week's semi-finals will go ahead as scheduled with Wigan Warriors playing host to Hull on Thursday, 24 hours before Catalans Dragons visit St Helens.
