The sports industry could take a major hit from the coronavirus outbreak, including the upcoming NCAA tournament, Major League Baseball games, the Master’s golf tournament in April and the Boston Marathon, reports The Wall Street Journal.
The NCAA, MLB, NBA and NHL are all assessing the spread of the coronavirus and have been in contact with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The outbreak, which started in Wuhan, China, has already taken a toll on spring sports, including postponement of the World Indoor Track and Field Championships in China, cancelation of the Hong Kong Marathon and postponement of five top-flight league soccer games in Italy.
In Switzerland and France, the national hockey league is playing its games behind closed doors.
