Coronavirus UK: Everton and Bournemouth latest Premier League clubs hit by COVID-19

Everton and Bournemouth have become the latest Premier League clubs to be affected by the coronavirus outbreak as the pandemic continues to hit the world.

On Friday morning, Everton announced that they have put their entire first-team squad into isolation after one player reported symptoms 'consistent with coronavirus'.

The news comes just three days before they were scheduled to play Liverpool in the Merseyside derby, but that match - and all others in the Premier League - are heading towards cancellation on Friday morning.
