Coronavirus pandemic: Australian Grand Prix cancelled, ODIs to be played in empty stadiums, Australian sports feel impact of virus outbreak

Firstpost  

Cricket Australia chief executive Kevin Roberts said the decision to play games without any spectators was common sense ‘in the face of an unprecedented public health issue’ Brisbane: Australian sports fans didn’t really need a reminder about the coronavirus, but they got one anyway Friday when a number of major events Down Under were affected by concerns over the pandemic. As the Australian Formula One Grand Prix was being called off in Melbourne, Cricket Australia announced that three one-day international matches between Australia and New Zealand would be played in empty stadiums. The National Rugby League said weekend matches would go ahead as scheduled but the Australian Football League —Australian rules football — said it would hold its first-round matches next weekend in empty stadiums. Cricket Australia chief executive Kevin Roberts said the decision to play games without any spectators was common sense “in the face of an unprecedented public health issue.” There have been more than 128,000 cases and 4,700 deaths globally since the virus outbreak started in China late last year.
