The decision was made on Friday following an emergency meeting by the league and all 20 clubs.
Earlier on Friday, Everton confirmed that, as a precautionary measure, its entire first-team squad and coaching staff is undertaking a period of self-isolation following medical advice after a first-team player reported symptoms consistent with coronavirus.
The league, which Liverpool is currently topping and who only need to win 2 more games to win due to their massive lead over second place Manchester City, kicked off on Aug. 9 and was due to wrap on May 17.
