Looks like shenanigans at Levels 5 and 6 (National League), as the Essex Senior League tweeted the following, then deleted it:
"Following on from the pre-arranged Webex meeting today with the FA and our colleagues in Step 5/6 leagues, The FA have confirmed that the season 2019/20 must end immediately. The consensus was there is no option of any football being played for the rest of this season due to the Coronavirus outbreak. Even if the FA were to extend, it wasn’t going to be possible to complete remaining games, also subject to being allowed to socialise by May."

That’s Step 5&6 of Non-League so tier 9&10. Nothing to do with National League.
The original article had "National League" in its title. 🤷♂️That’s Step 5&6 of Non-League so tier 9&10. Nothing to do with National League.

Coronavirus: All football below National League to end
All football in England below National League level will end immediately and results will be voided with no promotion or relegation.www.bbc.co.uk
EFL chairman has called for a "reset" of the business model of the 72 league clubs.
Hopefully the crisis won't be swiftly forgotten and we'll get it.
A reasonable salary cap system allowing a couple of expensive Rooney-style designated players per squad would be a good start.
Scrapping parachute payments for relegated Prem clubs and replacing them with mandatory player wage cuts down to the Championship capped level would be another.
The thing is that'd only work if we could start the next one early August, thinking about how far away we are now from crowds of tens of thousands of people going from one end of the country to the other it's by no means guaranteed we'd be ready by then. Other than the Euros in June 2021 there's no end limit to when this season can go on til, I'd rather end this season whenever that may happen and work out something to do during whatever gap is left than cancel this one and risk having both this and next season as ones that can't be played in full.The chances of finishing this season and actually having next season are diminishing by the day.
wimbledon is due to to start at the end of June and has now been cancelled. Is it time for football to just hold its hand up and say thats it, season over and void?
I honestly believe with players contracts coming to an end at the end of June it will no longer be practical, nor fair to play the season on after this point.The thing is that'd only work if we could start the next one early August, thinking about how far away we are now from crowds of tens of thousands of people going from one end of the country to the other it's by no means guaranteed we'd be ready by then.

Aye, I guess it's might end up being about whether they're prepared to put getting the season finished ahead of their contracts and the cash, we all know what'll happen if that's the caseI honestly believe with players contracts coming to an end at the end of June it will no longer be practical, nor fair to play the season on after this point.
Exactly this, and some of the wealthier clubs, vying for the play offs, will certainly be attempting to tempt key players away from their present clubs, whether theyre allowed to play or not.Aye, I guess it's might end up being about whether they're prepared to put getting the season finished ahead of their contracts and the cash, we all know what'll happen if that's the case
