The Premier League said earlier this month it was committed to returning "as soon as it is safe and possible to do so".
A statement read: "The progress of COVID-19 remains unclear and we can reassure everyone the health and welfare of players, staff and supporters are our priority.
"We will continue to follow Government advice and work collaboratively to keep the situation under review and explore all options available to find ways of resuming the season when the conditions allow.
"We would all like to re-emphasise that our thoughts are with everyone affected by COVID-19."

One of those clubs is Tottenham and manager Jose Mourinho believes finishing the season would be good for the sport.
"If we play the remaining nine matches this season it will be good for every one of us. It will be good for football, for the Premier League," Mourinho told Sky Sports.
"If we play football behind closed doors (without fans) I'd like to think that football is never behind closed doors.
"With cameras, it means that millions and millions are watching. So if one day we walk into this empty stadium, it will not be empty, not at all."
