Tom Doyle16 November 2020

The Premier League has confirmed that 16 players and/or staff have tested positive for coronavirus cases in the latest round of testing last week.

It is the highest number of positive tests recorded in a single week since testing began ahead of the return of football in June after the sport's suspension amid the pandemic.

Those who tested positive in the latest round - between Monday, November 9 and Sunday, November 15 - will now self-isolate for 10 days.

The Premier League confirmed the latest figures on Monday evening, but is not naming the clubs or individuals - with 1,207 people tested - involved.
