Earlier on, the organisers of the London Eurovision Party had released the following statement:
As the COVID-19/coronavirus situation evolves, the health and safety of our team, delegations and customers is paramount. We are working with the venue and following closely all advice from the UK Government, the World Health Organisation and Public Health England.
As the situation here in the UK is very fluid and changing daily, we would ask for your patience at this time. We are currently reviewing our options and all information available to us but are not in a position yet to release any further information regarding the event. Additionally, we have decided not to release any further tickets for sale tomorrow morning as planned.
Thank you for your patience, understanding and continued support.
Therefore will have to wait and see if the developments in the coronavirus case will force the organisers to the same direction of cancelling the events or not.
