Silverstone has said it has until the end of April to decide whether or not the British Grand Prix can go ahead in July.
Formula One bosses are in the process of putting together a new calendar for the 2020 season after the opening eight races on the calendar were called off due to the coronavirus outbreak.
The Canadian Grand Prix is the next scheduled event, due to take place on the weekend of June 12-14, with the British Grand Prix scheduled to take place just over a month later.
A joint statement from Silverstone and Formula One read: "Silverstone and Formula 1 remain in close dialogue regarding the ongoing situation and are assessing the feasibility of holding the British Grand Prix on 17th–19th July.
"We fully appreciate that other UK sporting events in July have taken decisions regarding their events, but it is important to highlight that their logistics and sporting arrangements differ from Silverstone's and, therefore, our timeline gives us until the end of April to make a final decision.
"The safety of our fans, colleagues and the F1 community will be our priority and we will continue to engage with the appropriate authorities."
Organisers of the Canadian race last week said they would need to make a decision by Easter weekend, April 10-12, on the fate of their event.

"We have made a pledge to keep all our players and staff in employment yet our income streams have dried up."
Meanwhile, the Football Supporters' Association, Premier League, EFL and the FA jointly praised fans' response to the crisis while also urging them to follow the guidelines.
"We are all committed to getting back to playing the game we love – but only when it is safe to do so," a statement read.
