On December 21, Beijing time, the Premier League announced the results of the new crown test from Monday to Sunday, with a total of 12,345 tests and 90 new positive cases, both of which hit a new high this season.
Last week's COVID-19 test saw 48 positives in the Premier League, which has set a record. In the latest round of testing from December 13 to 19, 90 new positive cases were added, a new high! This also led to the postponement of 6 premier league games last weekend, with only 4 games completed.
To this end, the Premier League has strengthened its epidemic prevention efforts, from a weekly sidestream test to now a daily sidestream test, a PCR test twice a week, and works with clubs to help mitigate the risk of the epidemic within the team.
The Premier League issued an announcement confirming that there was a consensus that the league would continue, while the vaccine coverage ratio for players to staff was 92%. The Times revealed that 77% of all Premier League players received two shots of the vaccine, 84% had at least one dose, but 16% of the players refused to be vaccinated.
