Biden to hold 'virtual' campaign events amid coronavirus outbreak

Former Vice President Joe Biden is switching to so-called "virtual" campaign events in Florida and Illinois amid mounting concerns over the coronavirus outbreak.

Biden previously had events scheduled in the two states, which hold their primaries on Tuesday. But his campaign said that after consulting with officials, the former vice president would not hold large-scale events in the states.

The announcement came a day after Biden and his chief rival Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) canceled planned rallies in Cleveland, Ohio, due to the outbreak. Biden is expected to deliver remarks on the virus, known as COVID-19, on Thursday.

Biden's campaign also announced on Wednesday that it would form a "Public Health Advisory Committee" to provide guidance on how to reduce the threat of the disease.
