  • Two contestants of the Dutch Junior Eurovision 2020 national selection, Junior Songfestival 2020, have been found positive to Covid-19 and have withdrawn from the competition. 

    Namely the contestants Robin and Demi from the group Unity were tested for Covid-19 and were found positive. That means that both of the act had to withdraw from the national final leaving the selection with three candidates, while Unity will appear as a group with three members instead of four. 

    Tha same luck had the juror Emma Heesters who had to withdraw from appearing at the show as she had prvious contact with a person who was found positvie to covid-19. Emma was replaced by Fenna Ramos. 

    The Dutch broadcaster, AVROTROS, made clear that postponing the national final wasn't feasible and that Demi will not be able to take place neither in the final nor later at Junior Euurovision. If however, Unity, win the final than Demi will be able to join the group back after in November for the competition.
