The Premier League are exploring the possibility of using an app which would ensure fans who tested negative for COVID-19 are allowed in stadiums.
According to David Coverdale from the Daily Mail, Premier League chief executive Richard Masters is set to hold a meeting with VST Enterprises, a British tech firm who have created a digital 'health passport'.
The Government are said to interested in potentially using the technology but it could also come in handy for the Premier League in terms of allowing healthy fans into stadiums.

Simply, its duty would be to make sure that only those who tested negative for coronavirus or are immune from the virus are able to be purchase tickets for matches.
The idea is that supporters would be required to show the health passport when they buy tickets, as well as have it scanned by stewards upon entry to the stadium.
Initially football in England was suspended until April 30 due to the coronavirus outbreak but the latest statement from the Premier League stated that the current campaign will only resume when it is safe to do so.

Cubs are expected to lobby for an extra two substitutions in games due to fears of fatigue and injuries following an extended, unscheduled rest period due to the coronavirus outbreak.
Teams are currently allowed to make three subs from the seven players they name on the bench and according to The Mirror, managers are keen on the idea and could well be supported by the League Managers' Association.
