Have a listen to the BBC Sports Hour from BBC World Service Sport as they discuss the global impact of the coronavirus.

Formula 1 has announced that the F1 Joburg Festival in Johannesburg, South Africa, scheduled for 29 March, has been cancelled because of the coronavirus.

Mercedes' Valtteri Bottas and F1 legend David Coulthard were scheduled to appear at the event and the day was set to feature interactive games such as the ‘DHL esports Challenge’ and the ‘Pirelli Pit-Stop’ Challenge along with spectacular car displays including supercars, SA Karting, F1600 and historic single seaters.

Former Formula 1 World Championship winner, Jody Scheckter was also scheduled to make a rare appearance in his 1979 title-clinching Ferrari.

The cancellation of the festival comes after F1 bosses said at least all of the first four races of the season would be cancelled.

The big unknown is how the broadcasters react to this situation. BBC, BT, Premier Sports and Sky pay huge amounts of money to screen football.

The latter three use football to drive their subscriptions. If there is no football, what happens to the subscription numbers and, in turn, their ability to pay the contracts.

As with so many things, the length of time this shutdown goes on for will determine what happens next.

We can add Woking v Dagenham and Redbridge to the list of National League games cancelled.

Another game in the National League has been called off, this time at Bromley as one of the players from their opponents, Chorley, has shown coronavirus symptoms.

All of these have now been postponed...

National League: Barrow v Wrexham, Bromley v Chorley, Boreham Wood v Torquay, Yeovil v Barnet.

National League North: Chester v Boston United, Gloucester City v Blyth Spartans, Leamington v Kidderminster, Southport v Gateshead, York City v Altrincham.

The Edinburgh Marathon due to take place on 24th May has been postponed because of coronavirus.

Neil Kilgour, Edinburgh Marathon’s race director, said “We are devastated to have to make this decision but we believe that this course of action is in the best interests of our participants, our affiliate charities, the event team who deliver the event and the emergency services who support the event.

“We are continuing to work closely with the local authorities in Edinburgh and East Lothian, the emergency service teams and our other delivery partners over the coming hours to secure and communicate a new date for the event which we expect to do on Monday.”

The Premier League earns so much money, they should find a way to get through this difficult period, but if you go down the leagues there are some clubs who probably could not survive six months.

They would probably vanish, and that is where the big responsibility lies. Hopefully they are looked after.

Peterborough United have two players in isolation and chairman Darragh MacAnthony has said: “We still have highly paid athletes that need to be kept finely tuned and they need to be training. They cannot sit at home, particularly if legally they are allowed to go out to work.

“So we need to have a plan in place, possibly including another pre-season build-up to when the games start again.

“I know everyone is ‘oh cancel the season’. We need to calm down on that. We are a long way from that. We need a period of calmness. The season has to be finished for the integrity of our Sport and the game

"Once this abates and hopefully it will in the month’s to come we have nine or 10 games left in all the leagues. It can be done even if we have to delay next season and push it further down the line. That’s the only solution.

"Cancelling leagues, promotions, relegations is just not feasible because when this virus passes and normal life resumes that will just be a lot of lawsuits."

And Wolves have tweeted this message to Patrick Cutrone.

News from Italy and 22-year-old Italy international forward Patrick Cutrone, who is on loan at Fiorentina from Wolves, is one of three more coronavirus cases at the Serie A club.

The International Triathlon Union (ITU) has suspended all activity until April 30 including all events in the World Triathlon and Continental calendars because of the coronavirus outbreak, the governing body said on Saturday.

All world rankings, Olympic qualification rankings, paratriathlon rankings and Paralympic qualification rankings will be frozen from Monday as a result.

"This is a decision that's hard to take and we're taking it with the health and safety of athletes, coaches, officials, facilitators, staff, volunteers and spectators, all the triathlon family, as the top priority," ITU President Marisol Casado said in a statement.

"We all have to take our part to prevent and stop the spread of the virus. It is our responsibility, as a society. Having our athletes, coaches, officials and staff travelling around the world at this challenging time is not something that we in World Triathlon are willing to risk."

The Yeovil v Barnet game is the most recently to have been called off and Barnet have just posted the following statement.

"The club unfortunately must confirm that this afternoon's Vanarama National League fixture with Yeovil Town has been postponed.

"We currently have four staff that are showing symptoms of COVID-19 who are following government advice and self-isolating. As a consequence, we have taken measures to put all First Team staff into self-isolation.

"The club has a duty of care to all players, staff and supporters - this is always at the forefront of every decision the club makes. "

So teams in the National League are able to play, although there have still been a number of games called off already.

These are the games that have been cancelled so far.

National League: Barrow v Wrexham, Boreham Wood v Torquay, Yeovil v Barnet.

National League North: Chester v Boston United, Gloucester City v Blyth Spartans, Leamington v Kidderminster, Southport v Gateshead, York City v Altrincham.

To repeat, it is the Premier League and EFL clubs plus the Football Association who took Friday's decision. Government advice on Thursday was that matches could continue.

The National League has taken the option to follow government advice. Notts County average attendances of more than 5,000, so there are plenty of fans who follow that level of the game anyway.

"If clubs get overwhelmed by spectators, I guess the National League may have a rethink but for now, for them, it is business as usual.

It’s impossible to please everybody, so it has to be a country by country situation. If you went club by club in the Premier League right now, only 50% would be happy if it was to finish right now.

Liverpool would miss out on the league and Sheffield United and Wolves would not be able to play in the Champions League.

Crowds at the Cheltenham Festival were down about five per cent on last year, but total attendance over the four days topped 250,000.

Cheltenham racecourse boss Ian Renton said: “The team here has done a highly competent job in putting on the extra precautions and measures in line with the advice of the medical authorities, and the crowd has responded really responsibly.

"We advised people to follow Government health guidelines and stay away if they were in a vulnerable category, and a fair number opted to take that advice. We totally respected their decision and thank them for taking sensible precautions.

"For the large numbers who came here it has remained a wonderful four days of racing, the weather has been kind and they have witnessed some outstanding performances by horses and jockeys.”

The next major fixture is the Grand National meeting at Aintree, which is scheduled to take place from Thursday 2 to Saturday 4 April.

It is understood that options which have been discussed by organisers include whether the event could be viably staged behind closed doors, although no decisions have been made.

Tranmere chief Mark Palios: "We're in unprecedented times. Everybody is trying to do the best they can.

"Financially, having to re-lay a pitch because it's costly... practically we need 12 weeks to reconstruct a pitch. You have to think of contingency plans - can we play games we were going to play at home away from home?

"Everybody in the game and sports fans want to see the competition completed.

"I think moving back Euro 2020 by a year would be a good thing to do.

"We've given our players a week off. Our sports scientists have devised specific programs for players if they are quarantined.
