After the suspension of races in Sanya, Rome, and Jakarta due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic that infected over 130,000 people and killed over 4,800 victims, the FIA announced that the current season of the ABB FIA Formula E is suspended for two months until further notice.

The move comes after the similar situation in Albert Park, Melbourne, where most of the races held here for this weekend, such as VASC and Formula 1, are cancelled following a certain crew member tested positive for COVID-19 coronavirus, as well as other races such as Sebring (FIA WEC and IMSA), and Long Beach (IndyCar).
Also according to the statement, the organizers said that they're implementing a flag system traditionally used in motorsport, to determine different phases and time windows where races could be rearranged or remain unaffected. Red representing no races, yellow keeping the opportunity open and green going ahead as planned.
March and April are marked red flag while May is marked yellow flag and both June and July given the green flag should the situation improves and stabilizes.
Stand by for further details.
