And then there is a second corona infection, which could have consequences for the final of the Eurovision Song Contest. Duncan Laurence, the Dutch winner of the last Eurovision Song Contest in 2019, has tested positive. Laurence would normally perform during the final of the Eurovision Song Contest, but that is canceled. He goes into isolation for a week, although Laurence will be seen in the show in a different way, according to the program makers.
Laurence was still on the stage of the first semifinal of the Eurovision Song Contest on Tuesday. He received an award for a record number of streams of his Eurovision song “Arcade”. In this way, the singer came into contact with a relatively large number of people from the Eurovision team.
On Wednesday he got minor complaints and after a quick test it turned out that he was positive. On Monday, Laurence had tested negative. All delegations, press and other attendees are in any case tested for corona every 48 hours.
