The EFL, who confirmed on Tuesday that 71 of the 72 clubs had returned no positive tests for coronavirus, are investigating the circumstances of the outbreak.
The governing body said in a statement: "Following the suspension of Lincoln City's Sky Bet League One fixture against MK Dons the club's subsequent fixture against Charlton Athletic, due to take place on Tuesday 6 April, has also been suspended.
"The club informed the EFL that they would be unable to fulfil the fixture following a number of recent positive Covid-19 tests and the requirement for players and staff to self-isolate as per EFL and Government guidance in order to mitigate against the spread of further infection.
"The circumstances surrounding the postponement will now be subject of an EFL investigation in accordance with EFL regulations.
"A revised date for the fixture will be confirmed in due course."
