Cannes Film Festival Organizers Evaluating Options Amid Coronavirus

Alternate plans for the Cannes Film Festival are being evaluated amid the global coronavirus pandemic.

According to CNN, the festival was originally planned for May 12-23.

In March, organizers postponed the annual festival, saying they hoped to hold it in June or July.

A statement on the Cannes website said that is no longer an option and organizers are exploring "all contingencies".

The annual festival is held in Cannes, France featuring new movies from across the globe.

France currently reports more than 143,000 confirmed cases of COVID-19 and a death toll over 15,000.
