Britain experienced an early misfortune on their visit to Australia after Jonny May became uncertain about the series opener due to a positive Covid-19 test.

May's case was affirmed on Friday after he became suggestive after showing up in Perth, and under government rules, he should spend the following seven days in self-segregation.

No different individuals from the visiting party have been impacted. Keeping in mind that Eddie Jones would not administer the Gloucester wing out of the initial Test on July 2, it seems improbable he will be involved.

May went through a knee medical procedure in January and, having recently gotten back in the saddle as a substitution against Saracens, he began last Sunday's defeat against the Barbarians.

Currently shy of match wellness and confronting seven days in his lodging, England's second most productive attempt scorer behind Rory Underwood will have little an open the door to demonstrate he is prepared to confront the Wallabies.

"We will not preclude Jonny May at this stage. We will perceive how he is," Jones said.

"Possibly he will be accessible next Thursday to prepare, so we will view see what he resembles because he has accomplished and he has displayed in his most memorable game back against the Barbarians that he is deficient with regards to game time and that he has his best rugby in front of him.

"We will screen what is going on and make an appraisal nearer to the day when he gets out."
