The Premier League has recorded two new coronavirus cases in the latest week of testing.

Across two rounds of tests between February 8-14, there were two positives out of the 2,915 players and club staff tested.

That figure is the same as the week of February 1-7, making it the joint-lowest total of the season so far, and a significant drop from the record 40 cases between December 28 and January 3.

"Players or club staff who have tested positive will self-isolate for a period of 10 days," the Premier League said.

"The Premier League is providing this aggregated information for the purposes of competition integrity and transparency.
