The FIA has confirmed that all tests of Formula 1 personnel for COVID-19 in the past seven days were negative, it was announced on Saturday.
The announcement, posted on the FIA's website, reads as follows:
"The FIA and Formula 1 can today confirm that between Friday 17th July and Thursday 23rd July, 1461 tests for COVID-19 have been performed on drivers, teams and personnel. Of these, zero people have tested positive.
"The lower number of tests conducted in this period compared to previous weeks reflects the fact there is a break in the race schedule following three back to back events.
"The FIA and Formula 1 are providing this aggregated information for the purposes of competition integrity and transparency. No specific details as to teams or individuals will be provided by the FIA or Formula 1 and results will be made public every 7 days."
Overall, the FIA has conducted 15,056 tests since its introduction prior to the season-opener in Austria. Two positive results have been confirmed, although neither case was linked to core team or organisational personnel.
