Major League Soccer announced a 30-day suspension of its season on Thursday as fears over the new coronavirus gripped sport across the United States. A day after the NBA announced a suspension of the league after a player tested positive for the virus, MLS said in a statement it was following suit. "Major League Soccer has suspended match play for 30 days, effective immediately, as the league continues to assess the impact of COVID-19 with its medical task force and public health officials," the league said. rcw/js
