Premier League Covid cases fall for the first two months after players and staff register 94 infected. This is down from 103 infections last week, when Omicron interrupted festive programming.

  • Premier League has announced that 94 Premier League staff and players have received positive Covid tests 
  • The total is now at 103, a decrease of 3% from the week before and its first drop in two months. 
  • Omicron’s destruction of the UK caused chaos for Omicron, and it sent down chaos to the UK’s top flight. 











Premier League Covid cases have dropped for the first eight weeks. The latest results show that 94 of the latest results are correct.

A total of 14,250 tests were carried out on players and club staff between December 27 and January 2, and the 94 new positives were down on the previous week’s record of 103. 

A Premier League statement read: ‘The safety of everyone is a priority and the Premier League is taking all precautionary steps in response to the impact of the Omicron variant.

‘The League has reverted to its emergency measures and has increased testing of players and club staff.’

After the festive top flight was disrupted, clubs asked for games to be cancelled due Covid and increasing injuries. 

A fixture backlog has been created by the fact that 17 matches were cancelled in less than a month.
