Elsewhere, La Liga and the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) announced on Monday that professional football in Spain will remain suspended until further notice.
La Liga and the RFEF said matches in the top two divisions will only resume when the Spanish government decides there is no longer any health risk.
Fixtures had previously been suspended for two weeks from March 12 but there was no expectation they would restart this weekend, with the crisis continuing to escalate.
The Spanish government declared a state of alarm on March 14 and intends to extend the lockdown imposed on the population until at least April 11.
Meanwhile, former Italy captain Paolo Maldini said on social media that he expects to recover "within a week" after being diagnosed with COVID-19.
Maldini, 51, now the technical director at AC Milan, and his 18-year-old son Daniel, a youth team player, had been in self-isolation at home for two weeks.
"With this video I wanted to thank all those people who expressed on social media their love and concern for my and my son's health," Maldini said on Instagram on Monday.
"We're fine -- we should be able to get rid of this virus within a week. Thanks for your continuing affection."
"I wanted to thank all those doctors, nurses, health workers, civil protection and law enforcement officers who are facing this emergency with the utmost professionalism and enormous courage. Once again, you make us feel proud of being Italian. Thanks again," he added.
Paolo Maldini has won five Champions League titles with Milan and is considered one of the greatest defenders of all time. /VCG
In England, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta, who became the first Premier League manager to test positive for COVID-19, revealed on Monday that he has fully recovered from the illness.
Speaking to Spanish television channel La Sexta, Arteta said: "It took me three or four days to start feeling better, with more energy, to leave the symptoms behind. I am very well now. I feel that I have recovered."
Arsenal has already released a statement, confirming that their players' return to training has been postponed.
"As a result of the current situation, we are clear it would be inappropriate and irresponsible to ask players to come back at this time," said Arsenal.
"Therefore our men's first team, women and academy players are all remaining at home. Stay at home and save lives."
