The Riverside County public health officer Dr. Cameron Kaiser said, "The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival and the Stagecoach Country Music Festival currently scheduled for April 2021 are hereby canceled."
The Minister also said that the cancellation happened because of the outbreak of the novel coronavirus pandemic that affects huge gatherings.
The order further said, "If COVID-19 were detected at these festivals, the scope and number of attendees and the nature of the venue would make it infeasible, if not impossible, to track those who may be placed at risk".
