Mayo’s Cillian O’Connor admits the county’s intense schedule means they have more reason to be extra diligent in adhering to Covid-19 guidelines.

A close contact must restrict their movements for 14 days irrespective of returning a negative test, which could have significant repercussions for Mayo’s players given they are hoping this weekend’s Connacht SFC quarter-final against Leitrim will be the third of five games in 28 days.
