Sportsmail can disclose the drastic measures Arsenal and West Ham — the Premier League clubs threatened by Olympiacos owner Evangelos Marinakis' coronavirus infection — are taking to ensure their employees' health.

Marinakis confirmed that he had tested positive for Covid-19, raising concerns over the health of Arsenal players and staff given they hosted Olympiacos in the Europa League on February 27.

Since then, Arsenal faced Portsmouth in the FA Cup and West Ham in the league, leaving employees of all three clubs at risk.
