March 01, 2020 "Fim, Irta and Dorna regret to announce the cancellation of all sessions of the MotoGp class for the Qatar GP, including the race. The current coronavirus epidemic has led to the entry into force of restrictions on Qatar that affect passengers from Italy, among other countries. Starting today, all passengers arriving in Doha with direct flights from Italy or who have been in Italy in the last 2 weeks, will be brought directly to quarantine for a minimum of 14 days. Italy clearly has a vital role in the championship and in the MotoGp class - both on and off the track - and therefore the decision was made to cancel the competition of the major class ". This is the decision taken by Dorna with the Fim and Irta on the next Qatar GP scheduled for March 8th."Since the teams and riders of the Moto2 and Moto3 classes were already in Qatar for the three days of official testing on the Losail international circuit earlier this week, races in both categories will be possible. The light and intermediate classes will compete then in the opening of the season from March 6 to 8. The same goes for the Idemitsu Asia Talent Cup, which will have two races during the Qatar Grand Prix as initially planned, "they explain.
Thailand's GP is also at risk. The second GP of the season should be postponed for all three categories, although there is still no official status, but Dorna would be working with the teams in these hours to find a good date to make him compete towards the end of the championship.
