EFL chairman Rick Parry has provided a hint into whether football will be paused due to rising Covid-19 cases.
Both Everton and Liverpool have been affected by coronavirus in recent days, with matches across the Premier League being postponed.
Everton have had their clash against Leicester City on Sunday called off due to rising cases in the Foxes camp.
While Liverpool had three players - Virgil van Dijk, Fabinho and Curtis Jones - ruled out of their midweek win over Newcastle United after positive tests.

Despite that, the Reds’ trip to Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday is still set to go-ahead.
Saturday saw Aston Villa vs Burnley postponed, meaning that six out of the weekend's 10 matches have been called off as things stand.
It’s not just the Premier League that’s been impacted, with games across the Championship, League One and League Two also being postponed following rising cases.
But Parry, who worked as Liverpool chief executive from 1998-2009, has seemingly ruled out the possibility that the season will be temporarily halted amid rising positive test results.

"If we think a circuit breaker will help we will do it but, at the moment, there's no scientific evidence to suggest that it will help,” Parry told Football Focus.
"We've got to stick together, stay calm and keep making balanced decisions on the basis of the latest information.
"We wondered if a short sharp circuit breaker this weekend would help but, frankly, it wouldn't.
"There is no science to suggest it would help and, if you look at the geographical spread, there are areas where games can go ahead and where they can't.
"There's talk of the government having a two-week lockdown after Christmas so maybe that will be taken out of our hands.
"We are getting more information listening to the scientists, they need more data to try to work out exactly where we are going with this new strain. It is too early to tell.
"Next week we might be in a different position."
