Cricket Ireland stated that George Dockrell "has been identified as potentially positive for COVID". The 30-year-old has been named in the Playing XI against Sri Lanka.

"A positive COVID test does not impede Dockrell's ability to play or train, but to keep the rest of the squad as safe as possible, he will travel separately to the squad on match and training days," Cricket Ireland said in a release.

Anyway Dockrell's symptoms are "very mild". The ICC and the stadium staff in Hobart have been notified that His movements and interactions will be managed so as to protect the rest of Ireland's traveling party in Australia.
