The EFL has confirmed there have been no new positive coronavirus tests from the latest round of testing.

In total 3499 players and club staff were tested across the 24 Championship clubs and four League One sides involved in the play-offs over the past week, with zero individuals testing positive.

The EFL has confirmed they will continue to announce test results every Wednesday at midday to continue to support the competition's integrity and transparency.

League Two clubs were exempt from testing as their season concluded when Northampton beat Exeter in the play-off final last week.

It is the second consecutive week that there have been zero cases across the EFL.
