Dave Chisnall has withdrawn from the World Darts Championship after testing positive for Covid-19.
The world number 14 was due to play Luke Humphries in the last-32 on Wednesday.
What happened?
Chisnall's withdrawal follows those of Michael Van Gerwen and Vincent Van Der Voort, who also pulled out prematurely.
This has dealt a blow to the tournament's integrity, with Van Gerwen calling on the PDC to do more.
Why it matters for Dave Chisnall
Chisnall's positive test result means Luke Humphries will receive a bye to the last 16.
The PDC has stated that Wednesday afternoon's session will continue with two matches.
What comes next?
Jose de Sousa will play Alan Soutar, and Nathan Aspinall will then play Callan Rydz.
Van Gerwen described himself as being "sour" at his withdrawal, citing a lack of strong control measures.
The Dutchman told AD Sportwereld that the PDC should have checked everyone at the door every day.
According to Van Gerwen, this would have been useful to protect the organization and the World Championship.
The PDC will continue to follow the rules of the British Government, but Van Gerwen believes more could have been done.
