League officials are drawing up plans to ensure the matches take place in a sterile environment.
Players are likely to remain isolated and away from their families in team hotels.
There is also set to be an increase in matches shown live on television.
A further delay to play could yet still be enforced if the virus' severity escalates in the UK in the next few weeks.

Jurgen Klopp has urged all supporters to follow the relevant guidelines in order to ensure football returns at soon as possible.
"We said it now often enough, and I think everybody knows, football is not the most important thing in the world. One hundred per cent not," he said.
"In this moment it’s clear what is. But the only way to get football back as soon as possible, if that’s what the people want, the more disciplined we are now the earlier we will get, piece by piece by piece, our life back. That’s how it is.
"There is no other solution in the moment, nobody has another solution. We have to be disciplined by ourselves, we have to keep the distance to other people.
"We can still do some things, not a lot, but we have to just calm down a little bit with things. Yes, outside the economy has to carry on, that will start again.
"But the lower the number will be when we go out again, the number of people infected, that’s what I understand, the better it is.
"It will not be like nobody anymore after the next few weeks but the curve will flatten, that’s the most important thing."
