Duncan Laurence, winner of the 2019 Eurovision Song Contest for the Netherlands, has tested positive for COVID-19 and will not be able to perform live in the Ahoy venue in Rotterdam, the organizers of the song contest reported.
“Duncan Laurence, winner of the 2019 Eurovision Song Contest for the Netherlands and was scheduled to perform live during Saturday’s Grand Final, has tested positive for COVID-19, his management and the Host Broadcaster have confirmed. Duncan has mild symptoms. Because of the 7-day minimum isolation period, Duncan will not be able to perform live in the Ahoy venue in Rotterdam, but will still feature in the show in a different form.
Last Monday, Duncan tested negative in the Eurovision Test Pavilion, which granted him access to the venue for his performance in the first Semi-Final. On Wednesday, he showed mild symptoms and then unfortunately delivered a positive result in a rapid antigen test,” the statement of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) reads.
