The coronavirus outbreak has led to football across Europe being suspended, with Liverpool yet to find out when their Premier League campaign will resume.

Prior to the suspension, Jurgen Klopp’s side sat 25 points clear at the top of the table, two wins away from securing their first league title in 30 years.

Last week, the UK government imposed an extension to the nationwide lockdown in a bid to slow the spread of COVID-19.

As of last night, more than 120,000 people in the UK had been diagnosed with the virus.

In the latest update yesterday NHS England announced 429 further deaths from the coronavirus in its hospitals, taking the overall UK death toll to 16,489.

After questions from the ECHO on Monday, a government science chief refused to rule out that allowing 3,000 Atletico Madrid football fans to travel to Liverpool for their Champions League last-16 tie last month may have contributed to a spread of coronavirus in the city.

As the virus continues to spread across the world, the Singapore government have attempted to combat the disease by launching a new batch of five ‘superheroes’ to help raise awareness.

The quintet have been named the ‘Virus Vanguard’, and feature Dr Disinfector, Fake News Buster, Circuit Breaker, Care-leh Dee and Must Always Walk Alone (MAWA) Man.

The latter appears to be making reference to Liverpool’s iconic anthem ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’, with reports in the media claiming MAWA Man is fanatical fan of arch rivals Manchester United.

MAWA Man, an advocate of social distancing, featured a Liver Bird style image with a line through it on his chest.

And Yahoo News cites details that reportedly appeared on the campaign website, saying that MAWA Man grew up in the 1980s supporting United.

The article carries a description the reads: "His hatred for Liverpool so far exceeds his love for Man United that it manifested as a telekinesis power."

The superheroes made their first appearance on Sunday after being launched on the Singapore government’s website and Facebook page.

But by Monday night both posts had been taken down.

“The Virus Vanguard is undergoing a review,” a post on the Singapore government’s Facebook page wrote.

“We have received quite a lot of feedback on the characters and we will be reviewing them. We are sorry if we offended anyone.

“As this is the first time we are exploring this content format, we appreciate your patience.

“The Virus Vanguard is a collaboration with the Band of Doodlers (BOD) to create a comic series to convey different aspects of the Circuit Breaker measures.”
