Canceled, canceled, canceled: Outbreak takes toll on entertainment, sports and more
"Carry on with your everyday lives," leaders typically say in times of crisis. Not so with the coronavirus outbreak.
Sports leagues, theme parks and vacation resorts have been scaling back – or even shutting down temporarily – as concern grows about how to to stop the outbreak. The NBA suspended its remaining season until further notice after a second Utah Jazz player tested positive for coronavirus. Major League Soccer and the NHL followed suit. Major League Baseball announced Thursday it will cancel the rest of spring training and delay the start of the regular season for at least two weeks amid the outbreak.
And forget about March Madness. The NCAA announced Thursday it has canceled the Division I men’s and women’s 2020 basketball tournaments over the coronavirus outbreak.  In addition, the PGA Tour said it was canceling The Players Championship and at least three subsequent tournaments.
Kids faced disappointment too. Disneyland in California will close on Saturday amid concerns over the spread of the new coronavirus. Disneyland Resorts said in a statement Thursday that the flagship park and Disney California Adventure, located side by side south of Los Angeles, will remain closed through the end of the month.
The resort says hotels will remain open until Monday so guests can make travel arrangements. Theme parks at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida and Disneyland Paris Resort will close from Sunday morning through the end of the month.
Tours, awards shows, conventions and festivals nationwide on Thursday announced cancellations and postponements at a rapid clip, with concert tours being postponed, movie releases shifting and Broadway theaters going dark. Click here for more.
