A number of events have been cancelled already, including Friday’s play in the men’s third Test between England and South Africa at The Oval.
The English Football League postponed two matches scheduled today – Burnley v Norwich in the Championship and Tranmere v Stockport in League Two.
The European Tour also confirmed there would be no play on Friday.
Decisions regarding further postponements are still to be decided, with guidance expected to come from the Cabinet Office in the coming hours.
However, it is understood it will be left to sports event organisers to decide how to proceed, with no mandatory postponements.
