(Reuters) - One member of Everton's first-team squad and five members of Bournemouth's squad and staff are in self-isolation as a coronavirus precaution, the two English Premier League clubs said on Friday.

Everton said earlier in the day that the first-team squad and coaching staff were self-isolating after a player reported symptoms of COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus, but have since clarified that only one player was being isolated.
