The Premier League said Tuesday (May 19) that six people from three different clubs had tested positive for Covid-19 from a sample of 748 individuals.

The new coronavirus tests were taken on Sunday and Monday before returning to small group training.

"Players or club staff who tested positive will now isolate themselves for a period of seven days," the league said in a statement.

The Premier League is providing this aggregate information for the purpose of integrity and transparency of the competition.

"The League will not provide specific details about clubs or individuals and the results will be made public in this way after each round of testing."

On Monday, the Premier League voted to allow clubs to start training in small groups and without contact, and some clubs will return on Tuesday.


The league will decide early next week when to allow contact training as it looks for a June restart for the season that stopped on March 13.
