In recent weeks, the coronavirus has been the reason for numerous cancellations of shows and events in the entertainment world, from Knotfest Japan to the SXSW technology and entertainment fair.

Despite doctors stating that conventional masks do not protect against the coronavirus, Korn 's merchandise masks sold out on the band's official website. The item has been in the group's store since 2019 and has never been as sought after as it is now.
