Coronavirus premier league and efl suspended until 3rd april
That's correct! On March 13, 2020, the Premier League and English Football League (EFL) announced that all matches would be suspended until April 3, 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The decision was made after a meeting between the Premier League, EFL, and the UK government, and was taken to help slow the spread of the virus and protect the health and well-being of players, staff, and fans.
The suspension affected all Premier League and EFL matches, including league games, cup competitions, and international matches. The decision was made with the understanding that the situation would be reviewed regularly, and a new date for the resumption of matches would be announced if possible.
Unfortunately, the suspension was later extended several times, with the Premier League and EFL eventually announcing that the 2019-2020 season would be completed behind closed doors, with matches taking place without fans in attendance. The season was eventually completed in July and August 2020.
