Watford Football Club has confirmed that three people have tested positive for the Covid-19 virus after the test conducted at the training ground on Monday. The club said in a statement.
"Of those three positive tests, one is a player and two are members of staff. All three have asked that medical confidentiality be respected and, therefore, the club will not be naming those involved.
"All three will now self-isolate for seven days - in line with the protocols set out in Premier League guidelines - before being tested again at a later date.
"Strict adherence to the Premier League guidelines has ensured the training ground remains virus-free and a safe environment for the players to continue to work. The club will continue to liaise closely with the affected personnel and there will be no further comment."
Premier League had earlier announced on Monday that teams can begin training in "small groups" starting Tuesday after a meeting of shareholders approved the plans.
The Premier League has been suspended since March as a result of the coronavirus outbreak, with the league still eyeing a return to play in June.
