Tottenham confirm positive test in Premier League’s coronavirus testing

Tottenham have confirmed they have received the only positive test for coronavirus from the fifth round of Premier League testing results.
A statement from Tottenham read: “We have been informed by the Premier League that we have received one positive test for COVID-19 following the latest round of testing at our Training Centre.
“Due to medical confidentiality, the individual’s name will not be disclosed.
“They are currently asymptomatic and will now self-isolate for seven days, in line with Premier League protocol, before undergoing further testing.
“We shall continue to strictly adhere to the Premier League’s Return to Training protocol, which ensures our Training Centre remains a safe and virus-free working environment.”
It follows the fourth-round results which were published last weekend, in which there were no new positive tests indicated.
A total of 12 individuals tested positive for COVID-19 out of 3882 from the initial four rounds.
All 20 top-flight clubs, who have now returned to close-contact training, are continuing to adhere to the latest medical advice from the Government and Public Health England to enable a phased resumption of sport in the UK, as a return to Premier League matches behind-closed-doors approaches.
