Aren't those 25 across the whole EFL?

It is but the article on the EFL website says they tested all 72 clubs and 71 returned zero positive tests so all 25 positive tests must be at one club.

Unbelievable. Not saying theyve done something dodgy but theres certainly not something right with that.

Something must have gone on with not following protocol correctly to have that many positive cases??? Hope they all make a full recovery etc but this has got to be a good thing from our point of view 
It's nothing like that many, surely?

Has Ostigaard actually been called up by Norway? If not the international break weekend would surely be best.

And McFadzean would be suspended too now.
The Telegraph article about the rearrangement is contradictory:
Rotherham boss admits congestion blow ahead of Sky Blues clash
Millers' manager Paul Warne expects no fixture favours from the Sky Blues and believes his side need five or six wins to survive, having only won nine all season
www.coventrytelegraph.net
Warne said:
“We are at the stage with the EFL where we have been given two options. We selected one that was preferable for me, they have come back and are saying they want us to take option two.
“We are saying that option two does not look very fair, it would be a game on a Monday and a Wednesday. Option One was a bit better, it was a Tuesday-Thursday-Sunday, which still was not amazing.”
If confirmed, the Millers will play at Huddersfield on Saturday, April 10, before entertaining QPR on Tuesday, April 13, City on Thursday 15 and yet another relegation rival, Birmingham City, on the Sunday (April 18).

It would work better for us if they moved our Barnsley game to Sunday because both us and Barnsley don't play again until the following WednesdayAnd McFadzean would be suspended too now.

They shouldn’t be given any options they should be given dates and either play of forfeit the whole league calendar isn’t done to suit him.

I think that's harsh. Surely best if at least an attempt to make an agreement with the clubs involved. before imposing things if no agreement can be made.
I'm sure whenever it is that Rotherham will be very fired up and focussed (to the detriment of their other games) on game v Coventry. A very difficult game for us and even more so without our fans helping them. It would be a whole lot better if we can get some decent results elsewhere obviously and get those 'in the bank' (that why Luton was so disappointing).

You can see them resting their best players in certain games and take free hit. Then go for it with the teams around them.

I think that's about right from Warne that they'll need five/six wins (or 15-18 points) from their remaining games. I'd probably argue they'd certainly need six rather than five as I still believe we're capable of winning three and drawing a couple out of the next 10 games (11 points).
Given that they've won nine games all season I think it's unlikely that they'll win six games out of 13 - especially if you take into account their fixture backlog which is guaranteed to have a detrimental effect on their ability to grind out results. So, we just need to concentrate on ourselves and ensure we cut the mistakes out.

Problem is for the week including our game: Sat: Huddersfield (a) strong team, as after break. Tues: QPR (h) winnable so strong/weak? Then Thurs Cov (h) winnable (but team knackered from Tues) strong/weak? as Sunday (H) Blues. I know I'm wanting it for us, but ours is the game that they will be most knackered for, unless they throw the QPR game (which would be dangerous re points)
I don't think the league wants to be in a position where it's seen to be punishing teams for Covid outbreaks. If it was us dealing with 25 cases (and there by the grace of etc etc) then we would be rightly furious if we were suddenly stripped of any say in when we completed our fixtures.
