A list of sports events affected by the new virus from China

As many as 113 sporting events in China and elsewhere have had to change much, from dates to rules, in a bid to deal with the new coronavirus.

The outbreak of coronavirus had led to the death of nearly 3,000 people. Sporting events around the world are being cancelled, moved or rescheduled, from football and Formula 1, badminton to baseball.

The Telegraph.co.uk reports that the Indian shooting federation has dropped Italy as a training venue for its shooters and also cancelled plans to set up a pre-Olympic base in South Korea following the coronavirus outbreak, its president told Reuters on Thursday.

The US recorded its first death last week, and travel bans to Iran and stronger warnings on travel to Italy and South Korea ensued.
