Players in the English Premier League show unity, especially in difficult times. At the initiative of all team captains, a donation will be made to the National Health Service charity organization fighting the deadly COVID-19 virus. Unofficial data suggests that Premier League players will raise about £3-4 million. One of the initiators of this initiative, Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson, said: "We have been discussing for a long time how we could create a fund that would distribute money to those who need it most right now. We hope that all the funds raised will help ensure the well-being of doctors, volunteers, and patients." In the UK, more than 7,000 people have already died from coronavirus, with the number of infected jumping to 60 thousand. The crisis in the Premier League has prompted players to reduce salaries by 30%, but this was met with skepticism.
