Oscar-winner actress Emma Stone got engaged last December to Saturday Night Live “SNL” writer and segment director Dave McCary after two years of dating.

McCary announced the news with a photo of the couple together and Emma showing off her diamond and pearl engagement ring.

Multiple reports say that the couple was due to tie the knot in Los Angeles this past weekend and was forced to postpone the wedding due to the coronavirus pandemic.

However, they were not the only celebrity couple to have been affected by the pandemic. Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom were reportedly set to get married in front of 150 guests in Japan this summer, but have also been forced to push the date back due to the outbreak.

It is worth mentioning that, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared coronavirus a global pandemic on March 11 as the new virus has rapidly spread to more than 121,000 people from Asia to the Middle East, Europe, and the United States.

More cases of the virus, which causes respiratory disease Covid-19, continue to emerge, with outbreaks in South Korea, Italy, and Iran.

Italy recorded 368 more deaths from the coronavirus outbreak on Sunday, its biggest one day rise, amid growing concern about the ability of its strained health system to cope with the relentless increase in new cases.

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.
