There is no word yet on when play will resume. The schedule runs through May 24th, but the decision to suspend play could either result in an abbreviated schedule or extending out the season. The country-wide lockdown is in place until April 3rd, but the situations surrounding the coronavirus is fluid and could result in further changes.
