The news came after a whirlwind day that saw a slew of events get canceled and multiple celebrities get diagnosed with the illness.

The coronavirus is a highly contagious disease that first popped up in China and has since spreadto multiple continents. A number of events across the world have been cancelled or otherwise impacted to prevent its spread, ranging from Lunar New Year celebrations in China to E3 in Los Angeles.

March 11 saw major stories develop from this on an almost hourly basis. Rumors of a potential shutdown of WrestleMania 36 gave way to actor Tom Hanks announcing that he and his wife had been diagnosed with the coronavirus. Things only got bigger from there as the NBA announced the suspension of its season and United States President Donald Trump announcing travel restrictions between the USA and Europe.

In the world of esports, ESL stated it is coming up with contingency plans for its upcoming Counter-Strike: Global Offensive major and the Overwatch League canceled all homestand events scheduled over the next six weeks.
