Amid the deadly Coronavirus outbreak that has spread across the globe, millions of people have been quarantined. Travel bans have prevented tourists from travelling, and schools and cinemas have shut down as a result. Europe (especially Italy) has now become the epicentre of the virus.
Empty stadiums, tourist destinations and schools
Sports events across the world are getting postponed or cancelled. Those that are not getting cancelled are played behind close doors in empty stadiums with no fans to cheer them on. Bustling tourist destinations that are usually full of life are empty. Take a look at some of these places that have become like ghost towns due to the coronavirus outbreak.
Downtown Rome. Usually, the traffic on this street is very heavy at every hour of the day. 😢 #Covid_19 #coronavirus #CoronaVirusUpdate #Italy #Italia #Italian pic.twitter.com/X5TwWDkeZo

Nothing sums up the current existential pandemic crisis of public health vs commercial interests than Sport played in empty stadiums.
