HONG KONG, April 8 (China Daily/ANN) - The city's annual beauty contest – Miss Hong Kong Pageant – has been suspended for the first time since 1973 due to the novel coronavirus outbreak, according to local media reports.
The cancellation of the contest – a signature event for the city for years – comes after a number of events in the city were axed in a bid to curb the spread of the COVID-19 disease caused by a novel coronavirus that has killed at least 81,451 people around the world.
