The growing coronavirus threat continues to cast its negative spell on the events industry. Globally some of the biggest events have already been postponed.

Back home the story is no different. A number of high profile events have been cancelled in the wake of this health concern. Now one of the popular events—IIFA 2020 has also been postponed.

In a statement, the organisers said, “ After consulting the Madhya Pradesh government, the IIFA management, and stakeholders from the film industry it has been decided to postpone to a later date the much-awaited IIFA Weekend and Awards 2020 celebrations.”

Here is the full statement:

With due regard to the growing concerns around the spread of the COVID-19 virus and keeping the health and safety of IIFA’s fans and the general community at large, after consulting the Madhya Pradesh government, the IIFA management, and stakeholders from the film industry it has been decided to postpone to a later date the much-awaited IIFA Weekend and Awards 2020 celebrations.

IIFA is fully committed to hosting IIFA2020 in Madhya Pradesh at a later date and fresh plans will be announced at the earliest. In these challenging times, IIFA would like to ensure the safety of the citizens and legions of IIFA fans who travel from across the globe to attend and experience the magic of IIFA.

We sincerely regret the inconvenience caused, and hope that all concerned understand the sensitivity of the situation.
