The Premier League will not be affected by a new lockdown set to come into force across the United Kingdom, Prime Minister Boris Johnson confirmed on Saturday.
Coronavirus cases have been increasing at a rapid pace in the past few weeks, with the nation reporting an average of more than 20,000 daily positives over the last 10 days.
In response to the growing 'second wave' Johnson announced in a press conference on Saturday that the UK would re-impose a national lockdown, closing non-essential businesses and restricting the movement of the population in a bid to reduce infections.
