The Premier League continues to face translation of Covid-19
Last week, the Premier League recorded a record high number of Covid-19 cases since football returned in June 2020 (18 cases). However, things are getting worse.
After England had re-blocked and socialized, the Premier League continued to announce bad news to fans of this football tournament. In the last two tests, the Premier League has identified 40 new cases of Covid-19.
Specifically, from December 28 to December 31, the Premier League took samples of 1,311 players and club members. The result returned 28 Covid-19 positive cases.
From January 1 to January 3, 2021, the Premier League took samples from 984 players and club members. The result returned 12 additional Covid-19 positive cases.
During this time, three matches were postponed due to the Covid-19 outbreak at Man City and Fulham. Currently, Man City has somewhat controlled the translation and returned to practice and play despite the lack of 6 players in the first team. Meanwhile, Fulham had to postpone the last two Premier League matches.
Announced on the homepage, the Premier League emphasizes that the number of positive cases still accounts for a very low rate in most clubs. Therefore, they will continue to conduct matches in parallel with strict control of the disease. The British Government also agreed to let the football tournaments take place according to the scheduled schedule. People with Covid-19 will have to quarantine for 10 days.
