"The Premier League can today confirm that on Monday 15 June and Tuesday 16 June, 1,541 players and club staff were tested for COVID-19. Of these, one person has tested positive," the league said in a statement https://www.premierleague.com/news/1670563.

The Premier League returned to action on Wednesday with two matches after a 100-day hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Aston Villa and Sheffield United played out a controversial goalless draw where United were denied a legitimate goal while Manchester City beat Arsenal 3-0.
