The English Premier League has been suspended until at least April 4, subject to medical advice and conditions at that time, CNN reports.
The decision was made after shareholders met on Friday and unanimously decided to suspend the professional game in England, the EPL said in a statement.
Premier League Chief Executive Richard Masters said that the league wished Arsenal’s head coach Mikel Arteta and Chelsea player Callum Hudson-Odoi “speedy recoveries,” after they both tested positive for coronavirus.
