Premier league are well equipped to deal with and well supported by their backers. Meanwhile here's the situation in the so-called EFL:
"Rotherham boss Paul Warne claims fears of a points deduction have stopped his "obliterated" Millers calling off Tuesday's derby with Barnsley.
United, 21st in the Championship, have not played since 16 December as Covid-19 cases caused games against Derby and Middlesbrough to be postponed.
After an isolation period, Warne said another player has now shown symptoms.
"I was advised that if we didn't play there would be retribution because I'm going against medical advice," he said.
Warne added to BBC Radio Sheffield: "The medical advice was that nine days' isolation was enough and I have enough players within the football club to get the game on.
"They [EFL doctors] said the game is playable, and there is the possibility of a points deduction which I do not want hanging over our heads."
BBC Sport understands EFL medical staff can liaise with counterparts at a club, but only a club can decide whether it wishes to call a game off on medical grounds."No support, no guidance. If you call off a game, you may get a points deduction.
