The match has been rescheduled for Wednesday, May 13, alongside the five other games, including Juventus’ clash at home against Inter Milan.

Earlier, fans from Atalanta were screened for symptoms as they entered the stadium at Lecce before a 7-2 win.

The virus has killed 34 people and infected almost 1700 in Italy.

The Italian government has cancelled all sporting events in the northern regions of Lombardy, Veneto and Emilia-Romagna, which have been worst hit, until March 8, unless they are held behind closed doors.

Last weekend, four Serie A games in Milan, Bergamo, Verona and Turin were suspended.

On Thursday, Inter Milan’s Europa League victory over Ludogorets was played behind closed doors at San Siro Stadium.

The league announced on Sunday that it has called an emergency assembly for Wednesday to “examine the consequences the governmental measures related to coronavirus have had on the fixture list”.

The move came as Internazionale’s chief executive Giuseppe Marotta said the season even ran the risk of being unable to finish.

“If more matches are called off then, yes, we run that risk,” Marotta told Gazzetta dello Sport when asked if the championship might not finish.

He added that, because some matches had been postponed and others had not, the “balance of the championship has been altered”.

“It’s a distorted tournament,” he said.

“You just need to think of injuries and suspensions.

“And there is the psychological aspect when you look at the standings.”

There is little time for make-up dates considering all elite football competitions must be completed by May 24 because of the upcoming European Championship.

Juventus, Napoli and Atalanta are involved in the Champions League, while Inter and Roma are in the Europa League.
