LONDON (Reuters) - The Diamond League announced a revamped calendar of athletics meetings after the London event on July 4-5 was cancelled on Tuesday due to the coronavirus outbreak, with the first event now provisionally set for Monaco in August.

The league said in a statement that "several events will be rescheduled, others cancelled as organisers continue to adapt the season in the face of the coronavirus crisis."
