Football has not escaped the general growth in new cases, with six games falling victim to the pandemic at the weekend.
But while a COVID ‘circuit-breaker’ had been mentioned as a potential option for the league, fixtures will not be cancelled unless absolutely necessary. The Premier League also revealed that uptake on COVID-19 vaccines has been higher among footballers than the general population in the same age group, and that those numbers will be published on a regular basis from now on.
