Events Canceled Because of the Coronavirus

The coronavirus outbreak has impacted nearly every industry globally in recent weeks. With the declaration of COVID-19 as a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, there’s an increased effort to prevent the spread of the virus, which has meant the cancellation of many events, like sports championships, concerts and festivals.

Here are some major events canceled or postponed because of the Coronavirus pandemic:

2020 Olympics

After the President of the International Olympic Committee accepted Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's proposal for a one-year postponement, the IOC announced on March 30 that the games will be held between July and August 2021.

NBA

The NBA became the first major U.S. sports league to suspend the season after Utah Jazz player Rudy Gobert tested positive at the COVID-19.

NHL

Like the NBA, the NHL suspended the championship. The decision came after the NBA was suspended for Gobert's positivity to the Coronavirus.

UEFA Champions League and Europa League

UEFA has also stopped. The most prestigious competitions for European clubs have in fact suspended their activities. All UEFA club competitions matches scheduled are postponed to a date to be defined.

Broadway Productions

All Broadway productions have been canceled since March 12 as part of an effort to restrict all gatherings of more than 500 people and to limit the coronavirus epidemic.

Cannes Film Festival 2020

The Cannes Film Festival, which was originally set to take place in the middle of May, has been canceled due to the health crisis and the development of the French and international situation.
