The FA, Premier League, EFL and Barclays FA Women’s Super League and FA Women’s Championship have collectively agreed to postpone the professional game in England until 3 April at the earliest.
The postponements include all matches in the Premier League, Championship, League One and League Two, as well as all Academy and youth team fixtures.
Serie A, La Liga, MLS and Ligue 1 will all be taking in enforced breaks as a global pandemic continues to wreak havoc.
English football had steered clear of taking similar decisive action, with government officials and sporting authorities declaring that there was no need to prevent the congregation of large groups of people.
The Premier League has, however, been backed into a corner by recent developments.
It was revealed on Thursday that Arteta and Hudson-Odoi had contracted coronavirus , while Manchester City defender Benjamin Mendy has been forced into a period of self isolation along with a number of Leicester City players .
Those in charge of the English top-flight revealed that an emergency meeting would be held to reassess the situation, and the outcome of that is that all matches due to be held this weekend and for the foreseeable future will need to be rearranged.

Hello, I'm Benedict Adoesom from China, student at the Faculty of Medical Sciences at Zanjan University. The Corona virus or COVD-19 will reach any country sooner or later, and there is no doubt that many countries do not have any sophisticated diagnostic kits or equipment. Please use as much * natural vitamin C as possible * to strengthen your immune system. Currently, the virus does not contain a vaccine or specific treatment Unfortunately, due to the genetic mutation that made it very dangerous. This disease appears to be caused by the fusion of the gene between a snake and a bat, and has acquired the ability to infect mammals, including humans. It is important to have greater knowledge of the disease: Professor Chen Horin, CEO of Beijing Military Hospital, said: "Sliced lemon in a glass of warm water can save your life". So whatever you are doing, take a look at this message and pass it on to other people! Hot lemon can kill cancer cells! Cut the lemon into three parts and put it in a glass, then pour hot water and transform it into (alkaline water), drink it every day, it will definitely benefit everyone. Treatment with this extract destroys only malignant cells and does not affect healthy cells. Second, the carboxylic acid in lemon juice can regulate high blood pressure, protect narrow arteries, regulate blood circulation and reduce blood clotting. . After reading the message, transfer it to the person you love and take care of your personal health. Advice: Professor Chen Horin notes that whoever receives this message is at least guaranteed to save someone's life ... I did my job and I hope you can help me develop it too. God bless us.🙏🙇😿

This action of suspending the games and any groups convergance, is a very human, noble and responsible feat of genius by the authorities of the Beautiful Game and the other Sporting Disciplines. It is most welcome and well appreciated. This Coronavirus Pandemic is a New World Order of its own, indeed. A new chapter has been born in the history of mankind. We are ALL in it,together. If you are not infected, then you are affected. Let's keep asking God Almighty, to avail,soonest,the solution to our Medical Practitioners/Professionals and Researchers . We are ALL caught in this web,but the opportunity to overcome is there,as we stand in oneness,I do believe.
