PSL players will not be tested for the Covid-19 ahead of the league resuming, says the league’s acting CEO Mato Madlala.
PSL action was halted last month because of the pandemic.
There has been talk of the league being played behind closed doors once the green light is given by government.
That would mean that everyone involved would have to be cleared of the virus.
However, speaking to Independent Media, Madlala made it clear that they can’t break the South African government’s regulations.
She says: “We can’t create our own regulations as football. We will follow the regulations of the country.
“What are they saying? You know the regulations [you only get tested when you have signs of the symptoms that shows you might have coronavirus].

She adds: “We have to know what to follow medically in order for games to take place behind closed doors.
“The minister of sports and recreation gave us permission [that we can play behind closed doors] on condition that we comply.”
