The Melbourne Storm's clash with the Broncos is locked in to take place at AAMI Park after Brisbane were provided an exemption to enter Victoria last night.
Melbourne Park will host the Round Four match despite the outbreak of COVID-19 in Brisbane, which has forced the city into a three-day lockdown.
Storm chief executive Justin Rodski welcomed the news.
"It has been a challenging couple of days working through the implications of the COVID situation in Brisbane, but we have been in constant contact with the NRL and Victorian government during this period and appreciate the difficult decisions that need to be made when it comes to protecting the community from COVID," Rodski said in a statement released by the Storm.
"Thankfully, the NRL have worked through the protocols required to ensure the Broncos can secure an exemption and the game can proceed."
