Matches in La Liga and the Segunda Division will be played behind closed doors for at least the next two weeks due to the coronavirus outbreak.
Spanish authorities took the decision following a meeting early on Tuesday before advising league officials.
In a statement, La Liga said it "will stay in constant contact with the Ministry of Health and CSD (High Council of Sport) to learn their recommendations and/or decisions" going forward.
It is expected the measures will come into effect as soon as Tuesday's La Liga match between Eibar and Real Sociedad at Ipurua.
Osasuna had earlier suspended ticket sales for the game against Sociedad on Sunday, with a message on their website telling fans to await further updates.

Joris Evers, La Liga's chief communications officer, said on Twitter: "Health is paramount. As a preventive measure, La Liga Santander and La Liga SmartBank will be played behind closed doors the coming two weeks (as will all sporting competitions and events in Spain)."
