LONDON, May 31, 2020 (BSS/AFP) – There have been no positive findings from
the latest round of coronavirus testing carried out in the Premier League, the
English top-flight announced on Saturday.

The fourth round of screening saw a total of 1,130 players and club staff
tested, with the lack of any new cases bolstering the Premier League’s plan to
resume the season on June 17.

“The Premier League can today confirm that on Thursday 28 May and Friday 29
May, 1,130 players and club staff were tested for COVID-19,” said a statement.

“Of these, zero have tested positive.”

That means there have been just 12 positive cases from a combined total of
3,882 tests since Premier League players and club staff started being examined
earlier this month.
