Hundreds of players and staff continue to be tested for Coronavirus across the Premier League each week as officials attempt to keep an eye on infection rates.
Last week 1,388 Covid-19 tests were administered - resulting in 22 positives, the league said in its latest update. The number of positive cases was similar to previous weeks but came as a result of fewer tests. The number of those contracting the illness among players and staff remains small, however, despite growth in the virus across the UK.
The Premier League releases a weekly overview of testing results for, in the organisation’s words, the “purposes of competition integrity and transparency”.
