Coronavirus: EFL say 'no decisions taken yet' on what may happen next

Madejski Stadium
The English Football League says no decisions have been taken regarding the next steps after games were suspended until 3 April because of coronavirus.
The EFL said its board were due to meet again this week and it would continue with its "contingency planning".
A further update will be issued following that board meeting.
"Now is the time for cool heads and calm reflection, rather than speculation," EFL chair Rick Parry said in a statement issued on Monday.
The EFL added: "The health and wellbeing of EFL staff, players, club employees and supporters is of paramount importance and will be key to the decisions made by football.
"It is with that in the forefront of the league's mind that it notes the intense speculation that has appeared across the local, national and international media over the weekend.
"While [we] understand there is a strong desire from both the media and general public to understand what may happen next, there have, at this current time, been no decisions taken.
"The league also feels it inappropriate to respond to the many hypothetical solutions being suggested while the many unknowns remain.
"Given the fast paced environment and parameters we are currently working within, it is simply not practical to give a running commentary on what may happen.
"In the immediate short term we will continue with our contingency planning to deal with the implications the outbreak of Covid-19 has presented the EFL and its clubs, in addition to liaising with the Government, health authorities and football partners.
"A further update will be given once the EFL board has met this week. In the meantime, we wish the football and wider community well and urge all to follow the guidance from the Government provided by Public Health England if presented with any symptoms."

It had a black facial mask and partially white tail feathers, but the colouration of the body, wings and head is unclear. Descriptions from life indicate the body and head were ash grey, and the white part of the tail had two dark central feathers. In contrast, descriptions based on stuffed specimens state that the body was brown and the head bluish but do not mention the dark central tail feathers. This may be due to the specimens having changed colour as a result of aging and exposure to light, as well as other forms of damage. Very little is known about the bird in life. The Mascarene parrot was first mentioned in 1674, and live specimens were later brought to Europe, where they lived in captivity . The species was scientifically described in 1771. Only two stuffed specimens exist today, in Paris and Vienn...
