London [UK]: Premier League on Monday confirmed one positive result for coronavirus in the latest round of testing.
"The Premier League can today confirm that between Monday 22 June and Sunday 28 June, 2,250 players and club staff were tested for COVID-19. Of these, one person has tested positive," the league said in a statement.
No specific detail of the individual was provided by Premier League and no club has so far confirmed that the positive test came from one of their players or staff.
Premier League returned to action on June 17 after a long hiatus caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
Since the resumption of the competition, this was the second mass testing conducted by the Premier League. In the previous testing also, one individual had tested positive for the virus.
Meanwhile, the English Football Association announced plans to cut 82 jobs to cover an anticipated 300 million-pound ($370 million) deficit due to the coronavirus pandemic restricting crowds at games and more events being cancelled.
The loss of revenue will also be felt when the FA Cup semifinals and final are staged at an empty Wembley in the coming weeks.
Wembley was due to stage seven games at the European Championship including the semifinals and finals next month but the tournament was postponed by a year.
Other events, including concerts and two NFL regular season games, have also been called off.
"We have already lost that money and there is no way we can recover it," FA chairman Greg Clarke said on Monday.
"The pandemic will be followed by an economic recession, so there will be problems that last for years."
According to the British government tally, there have been more than 43,500 coronavirus-related deaths since March. While sport has resumed this month, supporters are not allowed in stadiums as part of efforts to contain COVID-19.
