A member of the League Two club's coaching staff has shown symptoms of the highly-contagious COVID-19 virus.

The Bantams have provided their players with GPS units to monitor their fitness levels as they work to tailored training programmes.

Valley Parade remains open, with all other departments functioning as normal.

On Friday, the Premier League and Football League suspended games until at least April 4 in response to the virus.

By contrast, the National League decided to allow matches to be played, a decision they say is “under constant review”.

Despite that, York City and Altrincham made the decision late on Friday to postpone their Conference North game with employees of both sides in self-isolation after showing symptoms of coronavirus.

York donated the food prepared for hospitality guests, players and staff to the nearby Changing Lives York chairty.

Changing Lives works with and houses ex-rough sleepers and those at risk of sleeping rough, most of whom have complex issues primarily connected with drug and alcohol misuse and mental ill-health.

Harrogate Town postponed their Friday-night trip to Solihull Moors because they had four staff self-isolating, but Halifax Town's game at home to Ebbsfleet United went ahead.
