The lockdown is scheduled to last for seven days, from midnight July 20, meaning this weekend's games to be played in Orange, Lithgow, Cowra and Bathurst will be cancelled.

CYMS was drawn to host Mudgee on Saturday at Wade Park, while Hawks was to travel to Cowra to play the Magpies at Sid Kallas Oval.

The Blayney Bears had a trip to Jack Arrow Oval on Friday night to play St Pat's which is now off the cards, while Lithgow's clash with Panthers, although not involving any impacted regions, will not go ahead either.

Each team in each grade will receive one competition point, as per NSW Rugby League's COVID-19 guidelines.
