LONDON (Reuters) - Major sports events working to get back up and running after the coronavirus crisis are likely to have to do so without cancellation insurance for communicable diseases as insurers remove cover or ramp up the cost.

Although the Wimbledon tennis championships will be covered by an existing pandemic policy after this week's event was cancelled due to the coronavirus outbreak, its organisers say it will not be able to get similar cover next year.
