Rotana is hosting Thursday evening a virtual concert by Lebanese superstar, Assi El Hallani, in an attempt to spread joy, and uplift the people spirits with music amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Musicians from around the globe have live-streamed and performed virtual concerts on social media platforms since the coronavirus pandemic outbreak.

The novel coronavirus, which was first reported in Wuhan, China, has infected more than one million people and killed over 88,505 worldwide. It also hit a number of celebrities and top political figures around the world.

On March 11, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared coronavirus a global pandemic as the new virus has rapidly spread to more than 800,000 people from Asia to the Middle East, Europe, and the United States.

Transmission of viruses between humans happens when someone comes into contact with an infected person’s secretions, such as droplets in a cough.

They can also be transmitted by coming into contact with something an infected person has touched and then touching your mouth, nose or eyes.

It is known that older people appear to be more vulnerable to the effects of the emerging virus.

Several Arab countries have tightened restrictions on movement and travel, with the aim of curbing the spread of the Coronavirus, and some have pledged billions of dollars in economic stimulus programs to reduce the economic repercussions of the crisis.

The virus caused complete paralysis in all activities and events with large gatherings worldwide due to concerns over the spread of the virus.
