Changing all the time and a mixed response at the moment. Chelsea have players self isolating but their match still on, Arsenal self isolating and postponed their Saturday match. Things should be clearer later today.
 

What choice do you have if you can't complete the fixtures? Promotion and relegation would be decided in the courts and take years.

What do you mean can't complete the fixtures? Ever? This will cause a temporary delay of a few months. It's not going to prevent any Football being played again, ever.

The season will be postponed, not cancelled. Most other big european leagues will take the same approach. The Euro's will be pushed to 2021, leaving the summer months free to complete the remaining fixtures.

This has the added bonus of allowing the players more time off for rest, season 20/21 will likely start later, perhaps in October / November rather than August as usual - this could also allow subsequent seasons to start later / finish earlier, allowing the 2022 World Cup in Qatar to run in winter as planned, with minimal disruption to domestic seasons.

So instead of voiding one season you're just going to fundamentally alter the sporting calendar to suit a ridiculous desert world cup?

Nah.
