The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo has canceled its event due to growing concerns over novel coronavirus (COVID-19), Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner said in a press conference on Wednesday.
The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo is one of the largest livestock exhibitions and rodeos in the world and was scheduled to run through March 22. It's the first shutdown of the rodeo since it was cancelled entirely in 1937, according to ABC13 News.
Of the 25 cases of COVID-19 in Texas, 14 of them are in the Houston area, ABC13 News reports. There are only two confirmed cases in the city of Houston. A presumptive positive case was announced from a Montgomery County patient who attended the BBQ Cook-off on Feb. 28. A disaster declaration for Harris County will be issued later on Wednesday.
