Nobel Prize dinner cancelled

According to the CCTV News client, on July 21 local time, Swedish TV reported that due to the new coronavirus epidemic, the Nobel Prize award dinner will not be held at the City Hall in Stockholm, the capital of Sweden this year. That's according to Lars Heikensten, the outgoing CEO of the Nobel Foundation.

The Nobel Prize announcement will go ahead as usual in October, but celebrations in December will be severely restricted due to the epidemic. Heikensten said the traditional dinner at Stockholm City Hall on December 10 has been canceled and concerts at the concert hall will most likely be held without an audience. The Nobel Foundation has not yet decided how the December 10 award ceremony will take place. However, Heikensten said the awards ceremony would not be business as usual.
