The thing for me about all this is the players aren't isolating in hotels like the German teams are, that's probably part the reason they've been successful in restarting their leagues, there's no way to guarantee other people in the house won't bring the virus home when the players/staff here are still living at home.

Bournemouth Player confirmed as 1 of the 2 positives from this weeks test. 2 in 900 is good, but if player had played a match would it have messed up the whole fixture list.

No

Because this is why they are being frequently tested to stop that happening

Good point. Were the Germans isolating when training or just now when playing?

I believe it was during training as well, there may have been a small initial period where they were at home when they first returned to training but I've not even heard real suggestions of players over here isolating in hotels. Can you imagine league 1 teams trying to afford that.

Lee suggested it at the start of the virus outbreak

Has this changed? When watching either sky sports news or a game you could see the home team coach arriving and sure I heard them saying from the hotel? 

Just seen a line in a story, essentially hotels are available if they don't feel comfortable living at home

Players can live either in team hotels or at home, but sex and kissing is banned if they or their partners show symptoms of the virus.

EFL update:

The EFL can confirm that 1014 players and Club staff from all 24 Championship Clubs have been tested for COVID-19 over the course of the last 72 hours, with two individuals testing positive from one Club.

Those players or Club staff who have tested positive will now self-isolate in line with the guidelines provided by the EFL and only those who have tested negative will be permitted to enter training ground facilities.

The EFL will continue to make regular and relevant announcements as appropriate in respect of the testing programme to support competition integrity and transparency.

No specific details as to Clubs or individuals will be provided by the League.

I would assume that's why they test them so that sort of thing doesn't happen.

Newcastle, Middlesbrough and Sunderland have all chosen to self-isolate near Barnard Castle ?

Ah are they only staying in hotels after their tests about 48 hours before kick off?

That's a pleasant surprise, I expected a dozen positive tests at least

With that great news then they should just crack on. No need for it to be put to a vote now. Clearly it's as safe as it is ever going to be.

Fantastic news. Clearly it was right for the Govt to Act on a worse case scenario but great news that it hasn't turned out anywhere near as bad as they thought.  

And other studies are seemingly finding immunity could only last 6 months, based on immunity when looking at other corona-viruses
