Coronavirus: LaLiga is in dialogue with the national public health authorities and has action plan in place

Valencia

PA Images | Valencia has cancelled all public non-sports activities following recommendations from national and regional health authorities after one of their supporters tested positive for the Covid-19 virus, having travelled to Milan for the club's clash against Atalanta.

LaLiga's action plan could involve matches being played behind closed doors if required, according to a source familiar with the matter.

Newcastle's Steve Bruce has banned handshakes at the club over fears of the virus, but the Premier League did not respond to offthepitch.com when asked what precautions they were taking.

Switzerland's football league has postponed all matches until at least 15 March.

Due to this summer's European Championship, all matches have to be completed by 24th May.
