China has postponed all domestic football due to the rapidly spreading coronavirus epidemic. The total number of confirmed deaths from the newly identified pathogen in the country stands at 170, with authorities confirming 7,711 cases of infection, mostly in Hubei province. The virus has had a major impact on China's sporting landscape, with several events cancelled and the country's Olympic women's football team quarantined in Australia.
