The Storm arrived on the Coast on May 14 and were due to fly out from Brisbane on May 26 after their round 12 clash against the Broncos at Suncorp Stadium.

Their round 13 match against the Titans is due to be played in Melbourne on June 5 but that match is likely to be moved given the Victorian coronavirus outbreak.

A statement from the club said the Storm would continue to liaise with governments, their health authorities and the NRL before making any decision on a return date to Victoria.
