Concerts and shows are being canceled, not just in China but across much of Asia.
A doctor at the National Institutes of Health said if the virus reached the developing world, the chance of a global pandemic would be much bigger.Performances have been called off or postponed in South Korea, Singapore, Hong Kong and Macao over concern that people could be infected by the virus that first appeared in the central China city of Wuhan.
Cantopop veteran Andy Lau canceled long-awaited concerts in Hong Kong, with the organizer saying it’s important to protect the health and safety of the audience. It's unclear whether Lau will proceed with an April concert in Wuhan. South Korean agencies have been canceling K-pop events at home and abroad in response to requests from fans about artists' safety.
The ripple effects of the virus have been hitting the arts industry hard in Asia, especially in Hong Kong. The city, which has molded itself into an international cultural hub and gateway to China, now faces cancellation of multiple events, wreaking further havoc on an economy already crippled by prolonged anti-government protests that started last summer.
