UEFA bosses say they are optimistic that Euro 2020 will go ahead as planned and are in contact with the relevant health authorities monitoring the coronavirus situation.
The European body has set up a working group with the European Leagues association to handle any fixture fall-out caused by coronavirus related postponements.
With Euro 2020 qualifying playoffs pencilled in for later this month, as well as knock-out rounds in the Champions League and Europa League, UEFA admit it will be tough to reschedule games.
Dublin is among 11 cities across Europe due to host games in the finals which take place between 12 June and 12 July.
At today's Congress in Amsterdam UEFA general secretary Theodore Theodoridis and president Aleksander Ceferin were asked whether contingency plans had been put in place to move Euro 2020 matches this summer to different cities or different countries.
Theodoridis said: "We do not want to start speculating at this stage. We want to deal with it seriously, case by case, involving the correct stakeholders.
"We do not want to speculate what will happen in three or four months' time.
"We are addressing the situation already by making contact with the WHO and different governments as well.
"We have acknowledged the situation but we do not want to over-react. We have created a line of contact."
Ceferin said he wanted to be "optimistic" that the Euros would go ahead as planned.
The Swiss football federation has had to suspend league football until 23 March at the earliest due to the outbreak.
Dominique Blanc, the federation's president, asked whether special dispensation could be given to play matches on Champions League and Europa League dates if necessary and whether financial aid may be available to cover the costs of the cancellations so far, and any further disruption which may occur.
Blanc said: "We are in a position that could shake European football to its foundations."
Theodoridis said: "We have anticipated this, and yesterday we had a productive meeting with European Leagues regarding situations like this.
"We have established a working group to find the best possible solutions, and apply common sense. Whatever issue there is will be addressed."
Meanwhile, RTÉ Sport has announced it will broadcast the Republic of Ireland's play-off with Slovakia on 26 March.
