Céline Dion annule des concerts après avoir subi des tests pour le coronavirus

Céline Dion a dû annuler des concerts de sa tournée Courage qui étaient prévus le 11 mars à Washington et le 13 mars à Pittsburgh, en raison d'un rhume. Après avoir commencé à se sentir faible, la diva a subi des tests pour savoir s'il s'agissait du COVID-19, mais les résultats ont confirmé qu'il s'agissait bel et bien d'un rhume normal et non pas du coronavirus.

Les médecins l'ont tout de même forcé à prendre de cinq à sept jours de repos.

Voici le communiqué de presse ( en anglais ) qui a été publié sur la page Facebook officielle de Céline Dion:
