Tajikistan has suspended all football in the country as the government takes fresh measures to stem the spread of coronavirus.
The central Asian country was one of a handful of nations to press on with its domestic league in the face of the pandemic. The Tajik Football Association announced on Sunday that it was suspending games until at least May 10 after Sunday's round of matches, which will be played out in front of no spectators.
Tajikistan, which borders China, has reported no coronavirus cases, although health experts dispute this.
Cases of pneumonia and a suspected swine flu fatality have caused concern, however.
On Saturday, the Dushanbe government decided to close schools for two weeks and ban the exports of grains and pulses to ensure domestic supply.
