National League South side Eastbourne Borough in action. Picture: Mark Probin.
The National League has been postponed until at least April 3.
It means Eastbourne Borough's next four games away to Tonbridge and Oxford City and at home to Wealdstone and Chippenham have been called off.
The League will continue to monitor the situation, but trusts that its loyal clubs, fans, players, officials, staff, volunteers and sponsors will accept that it has had no other choice but to reach this decision.
It wishes everybody connected with the competition and indeed the whole country a safe passage through these turbulent times.
This comes just days after the National League decided to keep going with the season.
