Premier League football has been postponed until the weekend of 4 April.

Parish said in a club statement that staff would not be placed on statutory sick pay "for health issues relating to Covid-19".

He also promised that matchday staff who have lost work because of the suspension of the league will not be "disadvantaged financially".

The Premier League is scheduled to meet on Thursday to discuss the next steps in response to the coronavirus outbreak.
