Premier League club Crystal Palace have offered staff assurances over pay during the outbreak.
Chairman Steve Parish has said employees who are affected by coronavirus will still receive full pay, while insisting matchday staff who have lost work due to the suspension of the league will not be out of pocket.
Parish said in a statement on the club's official website: 'Firstly, in order to ensure the impact of this health crisis is minimised, we will not be placing any of our colleagues on statutory sick pay for health issues relating to Covid-19 during this crisis.
'We are also aware of the impact on matchday casual staff where games are cancelled or played behind closed doors.
'Whilst we are not anticipating this to be the case, we will ensure that matchday staff who would have been employed by the club for these fixtures are not disadvantaged financially.'
