The Premier League have cancelled all matches until April 3 following the global outbreak of coronavius.
The decision comes as the official number of cases in the UK yesterday jumped by 134 to 596 - with 10 deaths – but the Government's chief scientific adviser Sir Patrick Vallance said the true number was probably up to 10,000 cases and growing rapidly.
Despite that, Prime Minister Boris Johnson did not move to cancel sporting events and other gatherings in a press conference on Thursday, in line with other countries such as Italy and Denmark.
