Premier League confirm one new positive Covid-19 result after latest round of testing

The Premier League have confirmed there has been one further positive result returned following the latest round of coronavirus testing.

A total of 1,829 players and members of staff from the 20 top-flight clubs were tested across Wednesday (June 17) and Sunday (June 21) as part of the 10th round of the League's centralised testing programme.

The one positive finding means there have now been a total of 18 positive results from the 12,057 tests conducted at Premier League clubs so far - a percentage of 0.14.

The latest individual to have tested positive will now be required to self-isolate for a period of seven days.

A Premier League statement read: "The Premier League can today confirm that between Wednesday 17 June and Sunday 21 June, 1,829 players and club staff were tested for COVID-19. Of these, one person has tested positive.

"The Premier League is providing this aggregated information for the purposes of competition integrity and transparency.

"No specific details as to clubs or individuals will be provided by the League and results will be made public after each round of testing."

The latest round of testing is the first to have taken place since the resumption of the 2019-20 Premier League season last week.
