The adjournment at Brentford Community Stadium is a first call for both sides this season
Bristol City’s championship game in Brentford on Saturday was called off for fear of a possible Covid-19 outbreak among Robins players.
Symptoms in the City squad were reported Friday.
But the testing lab was closed on New Year’s Day, and testing of all the equipment and back-room personnel has not been possible.
The game was postponed after consulting with both Brentford and the English Football League.
Brentford is second in the championship, having been undefeated in 15 games.
City are tenth, four points behind the top six, although they have lost four times in five games.
This is the second time that City has suffered from Covid-19 issues this season.
In November, they closed their Failand training camp after a series of positive tests among players and staff.
But it was during an international break and the next game against Derby County was still able to go ahead after 10 days of self-isolation.
