Wednesday’s announcement meant there had been 12 positive cases from a total of 2,752 tests since the Premier League players and club staff started being examined earlier this month.
Last week an unnamed Bournemouth player tested positive, with the south-coast club saying his identity would not be revealed because of medical confidentiality.
Among those who produced positive findings in the first round of testing were Watford’s Adrian Mariappa and Burnley assistant manager Ian Woan.
For the fourth round of testing, the number of tests available to each club will be increased from 50 to 60.
The Premier League said it would not reveal specific details regarding clubs or individuals who had returned positive findings.
