EPL confirms six positive tests for COVID-19
“The Premier League can today confirm that, on Sunday 17 May and Monday 18 May, 748 players and club staff were tested for COVID-19,” the league said in a statement. “Of these, six have tested positive from three clubs.”“Players or club staffs who have tested positive will now self-isolate for a period of seven days,” added the league’s statement.
The number of positive cases represents just 0.8 percent of those tested and is consistent with similar widespread testing conducted by other major leagues hoping to complete the season.Germany’s top two divisions registered 10 positive cases out of 1,724 tests two weeks ago ahead of their return to action last weekend.
Premier League clubs are aiming for a return to action by the middle of next month despite concerns from some players over their welfare.
