QPR notified the EFL that they would not be able to fulfil their fixture with Sheffield United on Monday night. The EFL will investigate the circumstances of each postponement.
Rangers also closed their academy training ground at Heston for a week on Tuesday after also rescheduling the U23 Premier League Cup match against Middlesbrough for January 5.
Covid-19 infections are on the rise in the UK following the arrival of the Omricon variant, which has led to MPs voting through the Prime Minister Boris Johnson's Plan B restrictions, which means supporters will have to show a Covid pass to gain entry to stadiums across the country.
