There were six positive tests for
coronavirus across three Premier League clubs on Sunday and Monday, as
the top flight prepares to resume in June.
The players or staff who have tested positive will now self-isolate for seven days.Burnley said assistant manager Ian Woan had tested positive.
A total of 748 players and staff from 19 clubs were tested. Norwich City did their tests on Tuesday so will be included in Saturday's results.
Squads are starting non-contact training from Tuesday.
The Premier League has been suspended since 13 March because of the Covid-19 pandemic, with 92 fixtures remaining.

"The Premier League is providing this aggregated information for the purposes of competition integrity and transparency," it said in a statement.
"No specific details as to clubs or individuals will be provided by the league and results will be made public in this way after each round of testing."
Clubs were permitted to test up to 40 personnel and some did not use their full allocation, while some samples are still to be processed.
At Monday's "Project Restart" meeting, English top-flight clubs agreed to stage one of the return-to-training protocols.
As well as training in small groups of no more than five, sessions must last no longer than 75 minutes for each player. Social distancing must be adhered to.
Official protocols sent to players and managers last week, and obtained by the BBC, revealed corner flags, balls, cones, goalposts and even playing surfaces will be disinfected after each training session.
Ongoing measures in further guidance include twice-weekly testing as well as a daily pre-training questionnaire and temperature check.
Analysis
Dan Roan, BBC sports editorWhile every case of coronavirus is, of course, a cause for concern, the Premier League will no doubt draw confidence from the fact that the number of positive tests revealed on Tuesday was as low as six.
In one sense, this is six too many. But, had it been significantly higher, it would have raised more serious questions over clubs' return to training. So, this is a boost to those hoping for a resumption of the season next month.
Last weekend, the Office for National Statistics suggested that one in 400 people had coronavirus outside hospitals and care homes, a rate of 0.25%.
Why the rate among the players and/or staff of the 19 Premier League clubs tested is higher at about 0.8% (so far) is unclear. By comparison, the Bundesliga recently recorded 10 positive results from 1,742 tests. But one should be wary of drawing too many conclusions from this first batch of tests.
With some players and managers having voiced their worries, and half of club medics feeling insufficiently consulted, further hurdles remain, especially when it comes to getting agreement over the protocols for full-contact training.
However, this is at least another small but important step for "Project Restart".
