The German football league (DFL) announced Tuesday that Bundesliga clubs agreed to further postpone the season until April 30 due to the coronavirus outbreak.

Additionally, all training has been postponed until April 5.

There will be another meeting to reassess the situation on April 17.

The DFL, which runs Germany's two top divisions, initially halted the Bundesliga and 2. Bundesliga until April 2 before Tuesday's announcement.

Even with the new proposed date, there's uncertainty throughout Europe's top leagues about when football will return. Nations throughout the continent are taking drastic measures in an attempt to contain the spread of the coronavirus.

Germany is the third-most affected European nation, behind Spain and Italy, with over 67,000 confirmed COVID-19 cases. There have been 682 deaths in the country.
