A long line of cars had snaked around the sportsground by 3.45pm in the wake of the township's Shell service station being identified as an exposure site.
"It would have been hard to train with all the cars," Jindera president Simon Cossor said.
"It's good that people are getting tested.
"We will follow the NSW COVID website and take it from there.
"It's been a shock for Jindera in general but it is what it is.
"You just take the information as it comes through and at this stage we are planning to play on Saturday unless told otherwise."
Mr Cossor said he was unaware of any players being at the service station between 11.15am and 11.45am last Saturday after infected Sydney removalists had stopped at the Shell outlet.
Jindera hosted Culcairn last weekend.
AFL NSW-ACT official Marc Geppert said the Hume league's situation would be monitored closely.
"We tend to monitor press conferences on a daily basis and take it from there," Mr Geppert said.
"It's day to day really.
"At the moment it's business as usual with the Hume league using masks and QR codes.
"Obviously the Jindera scenario hasn't been ideal but Jindera and the other clubs have followed the necessary protocols.
"At the moment though nothing has changed."
The South Coast and Sydney competitions have been abandoned due to lockdowns.
Member for Albury Justin Clancy said his office had been contacted by some Hume league clubs about what should happen this weekend.
He stopped short of saying the season should be put on hold.
"We need to be vigilant," he said.
"The key is identifying those close contacts and seeing if there is any broader risk to the community."
Henty also abandoned tonight's training session.
