Its countrywide now so that would have no effect.
To date, as far as we know, there has been
no general outbreak in any area. The worst town hit has been Brighton in which 'Super Spreader Mike Walsh' infected five other people. There are maps online that show where the cases have been identified. In the towns where it has been identified, there are just one or two isolated cases - usually from people travelling back from overseas.

If the virus does start to spread there will be certain towns from which the virus starts to spread. It will only then become nationwide.
For example, if the virus started to spread in Brighton, it would first infect the people in the town. This would be quickly followed by the areas surrounding the town and areas to which the towns people commute (e.g. London).
We play Brighton on 17th May. If the virus had started to fan out to the Brighton population but had not started to fan out to the Burnley population, at this stage, you wouldn't want to be shipping a couple of thousand Brighton residents up to Burnley for the match.
Where Zatan is correct is in pointing out that once the virus has started to infect all areas of the country stopping people travelling would be futile. In the meantime such measures might help to slow the 'virus spread' down a bit. The more we can slow it the better. This enables the NHS to deploy it's resources more evenly across time and also gives the US Biotech companies time to develop the vaccine.
There is also the factor that there may be a number of cases that are not on the radar. However, we can only deal with what we know.
