Cultural events around the globe have been cancelled because of the virus, which has infected 142,775 and killed 5,374 at time of publication, amid warnings large public gathering could help the virus thrive and spread. 

So far there has been 35 confirmed deaths and an estimated 5,000-10,000 people infected in the UK.

As a result of this, it has caused chaos in the entertainment industry with BBC Radio 1’s Big Weekend the latest festival to be cancelled over the pandemic. 

Meanwhile, London’s West End has been left empty over cancelled bookings, musicians have postponed gigs and even Glastonbury’s 50th anniversary festival in June hangs in the balance.
