Yeah, that makes Stockley's "a week or two" spot-on.I‘m not convinced the BBC are right, it did seem strange that those who are asymptomatic had to isolate for longer than those with symptoms. The EFL protocols contain the following screenshot. It reads to me that he would be tested at 7 and 10 days and if both are negative he can return to training.

SHOULD be safe for fellow PNE players as social distancing has taken place so far during training. It is when social distancing in training ends due to June 20th matches approaching that the real danger occurs. Tests are just a snapshot in time, you can be shown not to have the virus but 10 minutes later contract the virus. Imagine the scenario whereby a player tests as OK, goes into a training session or a match and then on the next test proves positive. Surely then whole squads will have to self isolate if one other participant also proves positive on the next test. I warned of this kind of thing on a thread of mine a few weeks back. You cannot play a contact sport until social distancing is no longer necessary. It is not safe to do so!
Have they said there will actually be a ban on stuff like players spitting and celebrating goals with hugs etc? We all know you can't really play footy without spitting and getting rid of phlegm that gets clogged in your lungs as you run about so much. Will they actually be giving red and yellow cards for any players that do it?
Tweet has been taken down. Someone may have jumped the gun
EDIT: A new one has gone up. Club should say something if true otherwise business as usual

Rest of squad to return to training.
As I said elsewhere, the ‘journalist‘ in The Mail has got this one wrong, If I, a random bloke in Preston, can find the EFL guidance, why can’t a journalist?
