    A twice-weekly mandatory Covid-19 testing programme across the EFL has been in place since earlier this month

    Sixty English Football League clubs have returned no positive Covid-19 results in the latest round of testing, with cases falling again from 32 to 26.

    A total of 4,794 players and club staff from all 72 clubs were tested between 18 and 24 January.

    The previous week, 32 people tested positive from 4,598 tests.

    Call me cynical but its amazing that there are suddenly no games being cancelled now that testing is back
    I would have expected more cancellations as a result of the testing programme, or at least more individual players having to isolate after testing positive

    I think the massive wave that hit the EFL has died down a bit

    Exactly, find it very convenient that the numbers have suddenly gone the other way

    Although numbers are on the way down now

    If it's lateral flow testing they're very very very very poor.

    To me its no surprise that a lot of cases were detected after xmas /new year. Players are human & I expect quite a few met up with family over that week. It's now a month since xmas so the incubation period is well & truly over.

    Let’s hope the postponements become a thing of the past. 

    Watching Charlton is the highlight of my lockdown weekend/ mid week (when we play) 

    I will never take the simple pleasures of life for granted again.

    "Fine for me"
    "Great. We won't announce it until next Wednesday"

    Really surprising as there hasn't been a cancelled game due to Covid for a few weeks now, and nationwide the Covid levels have really fallen. It highlights that everyone still has to be careful

    After Brentford on Saturday, another 2 Rotherham games are off, Luton tomorrow and Coventry on Saturday. Their second outbreak of the season, causing games to be postponed, they're already 2 or 3 games behind the other teams in the division

    Rotherham United have recorded 25 positive Covid-19 cases in the latest week of testing.

    The English Football League said 25 positive tests had been found among 5,533 players and staff from 72 clubs, with 71 returning no positive results.

    The results covered all tests from Monday, 8 March to Sunday, 14 March.

    The Millers postponed three fixtures earlier this month after positive tests, but returned to action on Tuesday against Watford.

    Manager Paul Warne and first-team coach Matt Hamshaw missed the 4-1 defeat, and Warne will also sit out Saturday's clash at Bristol City while he self-isolates after the latest outbreak.

    Assistant Richie Barker took charge and said some players were not fully fit, but had to turn out as the Millers look to make up the backlog of fixtures.

    What the hell are they doing @ Rotherham to keep getting so many cases?

    They're going to get relegated because they wont be able to cope with the backlog

    EFL report 25 cases.
    All 25 are from Rotherham. Not a single positive test elsewhere.
    Incredible.

    That is ridiculous! 71 clubs covid free, 1 club with 25 positive cases. Would be interested what they’re doing at the training ground and football ground in terms of safety etc.

    A bad batch of tests that are giving false positives ?

    Golfie Jnr showed me the news last night & I said that there must be something wrong somewhere. You simply dont have 71 clubs returning 100% negative tests & 1 club returning 25 positive ones. Statistically it just cant happen.

    What I don't understand is that this is their SECOND outbreak, as they had one in December resulting in the Derby and Boro games being cancelled, after one player tested positive and others showed symptoms, so how can they have a second mass outbreak?

    The Championship match between Rotherham United and Derby County has been postponed after one player among the Millers tested positive for Covid-19.
    The match was called off fewer than 90 minutes before kick-off on Saturday afternoon, with Rotherham confirming that other players have shown symptoms of the virus since the player tested positive.
