Looks like sport will be hit as well:

Sporting events including horseracing in Ireland look set to be held under special measures or possibly cancelled in response to the coronavirus outbreak, it was announced on Thursday.

Irish prime minister Leo Varadkar has announced measures to combat coronavirus, which will take place from 6pm on Thursday to March 29, that will see schools, colleges and other public facilities close in Ireland.

He said indoor gatherings of more than 100 people and outdoor gatherings of more than 500 people should be cancelled, while people are being encouraged to work from home where possible.


The Grand National meeting is 2/11 not to start on 2nd April.
