EFL virus testing update

An EFL Spokesman said: ‘Over the past week, it has become clear that the requirement for match day testing has caused significant concern and uncertainty at clubs as well as seriously affecting supporters.

The league revisited the matter with its medical advisors and, after careful consideration, which included dialogue with a significant number of club doctors, it was determined that the requirement for matchday testing would be removed, except for those individuals who display Covid symptoms.

‘Daily testing will continue on non-matchdays with clubs following updated red protocols which remain our biggest protection against the transmission of Covid.’
