Segregate the unvaccinated! Football clubs 'are told to split players into double jabbed, boosted, previously infected and unvaccinated groups' on team coaches in the EFL to crackdown on the new Omicron Covid variant

The English Football League has reportedly issued new advice to segregate players into those who are doubled jabbed against coronavirus, boosted, previously infected and unvaccinated groups on team coaches.

The Government has introduced new measures to try to tackle the spread of the Omicron variant and now the EFL, which covers the three leagues beneath the Premier League, has taken steps in an effort to limit the impact within football.

The 72 clubs across the Championship, League One and League Two are being instructed to think about how they split up their players when travelling to and from matches to try to reduce possible transmission, according to The Telegraph.
