(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Ahn Hong-seok = In the pandemic of the novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19), the British government finally decided to block it, but the English professional football Premier League (EPL) game continues.
The British government announced on the 4th (local time) that it would take the third blockade, and excluded professional sports such as EPL and’elite sports’ from the blockade.
According to the AFP news agency, the government has made it a standard for whether each sports organization has the system and capacity to conduct the Corona 19 diagnostic test on its own, and whether the competition can be conducted in a completely controlled path.
However, the government has limited events that meet these standards and continue to be held only for non-audience.
The English Football Association (FA) has decided to stop only leagues under 7 divisions for adult men’s football according to government standards.
Accordingly, EPL is able to proceed with the league without changing the schedule.
EPL, which regularly conducts diagnostic tests at the league level, has digested about half of the number of games in one season (38 games) (15-17 games) for each team.
