Coronavirus: Broadway theaters closed for a month

NEW YORK: Big Apple, attempting to contain Coronavirus,  has decided to shut city’s biggest tourist attraction,  Broadway Theaters down for a month.

It is pertinent to point out here that  most of the Broadway theaters happen to have 1000 seats, whereas, Governor Andrew Cuomo has announced a ban on all gatherings of more than 500 people, including theaters, starting on Thursday (12th of March, 2020 evening).

The Broadway League stated that shows (including  public’s favorites like Hamilton, Harry Potter, Cursed Child) would be suspended until 13th of  April , 2020. In the biggest city of USA,  328 people are confirmed to have the disease and the spreading of Coronavirus has led to cancellation or postponement of dozens of US entertainment industry events.

As far as Broadway is concerned, a personnel (usher)  who had worked at two theaters at Big Apple tested positive for coronavirus.
