PL confirms zero positives in latest COVID-19 tests

The Premier League has announced that it recorded zero cases of COVID-19 in the latest round of tests for COVID-19, the league said on Saturday.

A total of 1,195 tests were carried out on Thursday and Friday, the sixth round of tests since players from England’s 20 top-flight clubs returned to training.

There are currently a total of 13 positive cases recorded from the first to fifth rounds of testing.

No Premier League matches have taken place since March because of the coronavirus pandemic.

The pandemic has led to more than 50,000 deaths, according to a Reuters tally this week based on official sources.

The PL's 2019/2020 season is scheduled for June 17 restart.
