(Reuters) - The Premier League said on Monday it had reported 33 new infections of COVID-19 in the previous week, continuing a trend of falling positive cases for a third week.

The league recorded 72 and 94 cases in the last two reports, while there were 103 positives -- a weekly record -- between Dec. 20 and Dec. 26.

A total of 21 fixtures have been postponed since last month due to COVID-19 outbreaks at various clubs.

Of these, there were 33 new positive cases," it said in a statement.
