Read our privacy policy England suffered a Covid scare as a journalist tested positive for the virus at St George’s Park, the base for the national team for Euro 2020. Regulations have become particularly severe after Chelsea Mason Mount and Ben Chilwell were forced to self-isolate for 10 days following a chat with Scotland midfielder and club teammate Billy Gilmour – who subsequently tested positive – following the 0-0 draw in Group D. Medical staff identified the media as a potential risk to the biosecure bubble and there has been no contact with the press from communications officers who work directly with manager Gareth Southgate and the England team as a result. “The camera operative tested negative and has left St George’s Park to self-isolate.” The positive test comes at a nervy time for England with the news regarding Gilmour still fresh in mind, and the FA are seeking permission from Public Health England for both Mount and Chilwell to attend socially-distanced training with their teammates before their last-16 match against Germany next Tuesday. Public Health England initially informed the FA that Mount and Chilwell would have to train in isolation at St George’s Park until Monday, but the FA are hopeful that the pair will be gradually allowed to return to group training if they continue to record daily negative tests.
