MLS has mandated that all teams travel on private charter flights until further notice to reduce their risk of contracting the virus.
I think that’s just a preliminary step with much bigger decisions to come. Personally, I think they’ll try to play this week’s games, and maybe next week, then they’ll eventually have to postpone most or all games for a few months and hope this thing calms down.
If a player or coach is confirmed to be infected, that might cancel a big chunk of, or even the entire, season. We’ll see.
MLS is very dependent on gate revenue instead of TV revenue compared to the other leagues. I don’t think you’ll see months of an MLS season played in empty stadiums. That doesn’t make financial sense for the league, whereas the MLB and March Madness can still make loads of money doing that.

Big meeting here in the UK today to decide the future of Premiership and FL matches. I have plans to travel to Wales for the Leeds-Cardiff match this weekend plus two matches in Leeds next week. From what I've heard looks like all those will be behind closed doors.

It is said that whilst no official announcement has yet been made, it is widely expected within the next few hours that there is a total shutdown across the two competitions.

Exclusive: A Premier League club is testing all its players for #coronavirus after three players displayed symptoms.
The league is under huge pressure to cancel matches, rather than simply play behind closed doors.

I'd assume this is Arsenal.

Not really. Tons of athletes, coaches, and pundits have been saying this. The whole "it's not football without fans" thing is widespread.
