The Premier League wants to keep the risk of infection as low as possible to ensure a smooth season. Now there is a compulsory vaccination.
The English Premier League will introduce mandatory vaccination in the fight against the coronavirus for the 2021/22 season. According to information from Goal and SPOX, it will no longer be sufficient in the future to test players and staff several times a week.
As part of the British government’s national vaccination program, all parties involved must prove that two vaccine doses have been received.
Premier League against Corona: compulsory vaccination and return of fans
The Premier League is also planning to have full stadiums again in the future – provided that the spectators can also prove that they are fully vaccinated. At the start of the season, the clubs are testing various concepts to gradually get the fans back into the arenas.
Since March 2020, no Premier League game has been played in front of completely full ranks. At least 60,000 people were able to enter the stadium for the knockout games of the EM 2021, but British politics is currently struggling with sharply increasing incidence numbers and the spreading delta variant of the corona virus.
