The coronavirus pandemic is having a significant impact on the nation’s prison system, causing higher rates of infection and death compared to the general population. Researchers said the prison infection rate was 3,251 per 100,000 residents, while the rate for the general population was around 587 cases per 100,000.

Brendan Saloner, an associate professor in the Department of Health Policy and Management at the Bloomberg School said some prisons are not even reporting cases, and worse, others are not testing inmates. As the pandemic has progressed, officials across the US have identified prisons as major coronavirus hotspots.

Premier League clubs have delayed a decision about the dates for this summer’s transfer window. UEFA want the window to close on 5 October, before the start of next season’s Champions League. It is understood that clubs are considering whether to extend the window for a couple of weeks purely for deals involving Football League clubs, who have been badly affected by COVID-19.

A final decision is likely to be made at a Premier League meeting on July 24. It is also anticipated that the start date for the 2020-21 season will be confirmed at the next meeting. Launching the new season on September 12 remains the most likely option but that comes immediately after the September international break.

The Football Association and EFL are concerned the reduced number of match dates will have an impact on their respective cup competitions.
