Not only major events such as Bundesliga games are cancelled due to the corona virus, but also smaller events. We have compiled an overview of which events will not take place in Bonn and the region.
Because of the corona virus, Federal Health Minister Jens Spahn has recommended to cancel major events with more than 1000 participants. If an event is cancelled, the organiser usually has to refund the ticket price. Also in Bonn and in the region first measures have already been taken as a precaution. An overview.
