On February 27, the Netherlands reported the first infected with coronavirus. So far (Monday, March 9) in the Netherlands, 3 victims of the virus have been reported, but the number of infected is high, 321 cases, which calls into question the organization of the Eurovision Song Contest 2020, which is expected to be held in Rotterdam, on May 12-16.
The co-organizers said they were considering the possibility of organizing the festival after the spread of coronavirus. Nederlandse broadcaster Publieke Omroep said Eurovision organizers will follow the advice of health authorities and it has not yet been decided that the festival will take place. The NPO declined to discuss the alternatives being considered.
Eurovision is watched live by tens of thousands of people and nearly 200 million viewers.
