(AP) -- The BNP Paribas Open, set to begin this week, was postponed after a case of coronavirus was confirmed in the Coachella Valley.
The Riverside County Public Health Department declared a public health emergency for the desert cities located 110 miles east of Los Angeles, including Indian Wells. That's where the ATP and WTA tours were to play the two-week tennis tournament.
Tournament director Tommy Haas says organizers are prepared to play the event on a different date and will explore options.
