The small Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan, which relies on high-end tourism, had earlier confirmed its first case of coronavirus, that of 76-year-old US tourist who travelled from neighbouring India.
Tourism is one of the major sources of foreign exchange for the country: In 2018, a total of 274,097 foreign individuals visited Bhutan earning the country 85 million dollars. The three-day awards ceremony scheduled for the end of the month was being deferred"with due regard to the growing concerns around the spread of Covid-19 virus and keeping the health and safety of IIFA's fans and the general community at large," the IIFA said.
The majority of the cases were concentrated in the south-eastern city of Daegu and the surrounding North Gyeongsang Province, the KCDC said.
