In the case of corona confirmed one after another… EPL “There is no interruption”
[앵커]
The UK is stepping up its countermeasures, with more than 50,000 new coronavirus cases per day due to the mutant virus.
There is also a growing voice about the cessation of the Premier League when the season is in full swing.
The secretariat is in the position that there is no interruption.

Ahead of the home game against Fulham, Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho was upset.
About 2 pm, 4 hours before the kickoff, he uploaded a video of the players waiting on his social media.
Eventually the game was postponed.
The Premier League secretariat has accepted Fulham’s request to postpone many coronavirus cases.
The Premier League is facing a crisis again with the fearful spread of the corona mutant virus.
Last week, there were 18 confirmed cases, the highest since a weekly regular inspection was conducted on former club players and employees.
Manchester City, where a number of players such as Jejus were tested positive for corona, also postponed the Everton match on the 29th.
The spectator admission, which was allowed only on a limited basis, went back to non-audience after a month due to an increase in corona restrictions by city.
However, the Premier League Secretariat says there is no stoppage in the league.
In a statement, the EPL Secretariat made a firm stance that “we haven’t discussed the end of the season and have no plans to discuss it.”
Concerned that a league suspension will lead to a league cancellation, the Premier League is forced to play if only 14 or more players can play.
However, as the number of corona confirmed patients in the UK is increasing rapidly, anxiety in the league is also growing.
