JAKARTA - The English Premier League operator found 90 positive cases of COVID-19 in a routine test that was carried out during the week of December 13-19 yesterday.

Entering December, the Premier League again implemented an emergency protocol that was used in 2020 in the form of daily antigen (Lateral Flow) tests and PCR tests twice a week, an increase from two Lateral Flow tests in a week.

The Premier League said it had carried out 12,345 tests for COVID-19 among the players and staff of the participating teams and found 90 new positive cases, the Premier League's official announcement on their official website, Tuesday morning WIB.

Quoted by Antara, among other things, six of the ten matches that were originally scheduled to take place last weekend had to be postponed.

Throughout December, ten matches have been suspended due to a spike in COVID-19 cases in the UK, which was caused by the massive spread of the omicron variant.

However, the Premier League said the participating clubs agreed that competition would continue, especially ahead of the three-match busy schedule from Boxing Day on 26 December to 3 January 2022.
