In a statement posted on Armagh GAA, chairman Michael Savage said the decision to call a halt to proceedings has "not been taken lightly."
“Following an update today on the significant rise in cases across the north combined with a number of our clubs adversely impacted," Savage said
“This decision has not been taken lightly but we believe this is the right and responsible decision to safeguard our members and our communities.
“We will review this situation in consultation with Ulster GAA in the coming days and we urge all members to continue to follow the public health advice.”
