The second-biggest tennis tournament in the U.S. after the U.S. Open was expected to begin on Monday.
The BNP Paribas Open at Indian Wells has become the first major sporting event in the U.S. to fall victim of the coronavirus outbreak.
Tournament officials said the decision to postpone the tournament had been taken following guidance of medical experts, California health officials and the Centers for Disease Control. "We were supportive of the concept," he was quoted as saying."But ultimately the tournament didn't feel it was in their best interest."
The patient is being treated at Eisenhower Health in Rancho Mirage and is the second case recorded in the county after a passenger from the Diamond Princess cruise ship, who is recovering at a medical facility in Northern California and is yet to return home since testing positive. In Italy, which is battling the most cases in Europe, Serie A soccer games were played behind closed doors at the weekend after a number of postponements the previous week.
