NEW DELHI—Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi canceled a visit to Bangladesh next week to attend a celebration of the country’s first president, after Dhaka detected its first cases of coronavirus and postponed the event.

The event marking the centenary of the birth of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was scheduled to take place on March 17.

On Sunday, Bangladesh confirmed its first three cases of coronavirus and urged citizens returning from six countries—China, Italy, South Korea, Singapore, Iran and Thailand—to quarantine themselves in their homes for 14 days.
