With the stay-at-home orders in place until midnight next Saturday (August 21) it will mean at least two weeks of no footy.
As laid out following an emergency meeting with the clubs last Sunday, in the event of a lockdown in any of the LGA's the zone encompasses for one or two weeks the competition would be paused for said length of time and fixtures subsequently pushed back.

Late on Saturday the zone informed the clubs that 'Stage 2' would now come into effect.
Under Stage 2, Round 18 will be played on August 28 and the remaining Round 17 games the following Saturday.
The finals will now kick-off with a 'Super Saturday' on what would have been grand final day on September 11 with the grand final to be played on September 25.
Should the lockdown last beyond two weeks, the zone will meet with the clubs again to discuss "the best course of action to allow a result in the Central North premiership to be achieved".
