Premier League hit by record 103 positive COVID-19 cases

The Premier League has revealed a record 103 players and staff tested positive for the coronavirus in the period from December 20 to 26.

“The League can today confirm between Monday 20 December and Sunday 26 December, 15,186 COVID-19 tests were administered on players and club staff. Of these, there were 103 new positive cases,” a Premier League statement said. Arsenal’s home match against Wolves on Tuesday was axed on Sunday after an increase in case numbers among the Wolves’ squad.

At the same meeting, clubs were warned that games will go ahead if each team has 13 fit outfield players and a goalkeeper. “We are also liaising closely with the Government, local authorities and supporter groups, while being responsive to any future changes to national or local guidance.”In October, only 68 percent of players and staff had received either their first, second or third vaccination dose.
