THE Knutsford Jog has been postponed due to coronavirus fears.

It is hoped that the annual charity event, which was due to take place on the Moor this weekend, will instead take place later in 2020.

Organisers posted on the event website: "Sorry, but the Jog is postponed, probably until autumn.

"We have been advised that our elderly staff are most vulnerable to coronavirus and should not visit events.

"We are so sorry, but we hope to be back when the outbreak is over."

Last year's event saw £4,000 raised for good causes.

It had been due to take place on Sunday morning, March 15.

There are now 596 confirmed cases in the UK, up from 456 on Wednesday. Ten people have died.

The first case in Cheshire was confirmed in Warrington yesterday, Wednesday.
