The prestigious beauty event, Miss World 2021, which marks the 70th edition of the Miss World pageant was postponed temporarily after a few contestants have come in contact with the novel Coronavirus. The infected contestants include Indian model Manasa Varanasi who is representing India at the beauty event.
As the finale of the prestigious beauty event was scheduled to be held on Thursday, the contestants were found positive for the virus, and hours ahead of the pageant, the organisers issued a statement saying that the event was postponed temporarily.
