With many cities worldwide under lockdown to prevent the spread of coronavirus, Netflix chief content officer Ted Sarandos has said the company has witnessed a surge in online viewership.

Sarandos told Brian Stelter on CNN's 'Reliable Sources' that the novel coronavirus has caused a "massive disruption" in the global entertainment industry.

"It's been a massive disruption. Every of one of our productions around the world are shut down. It's unprecedented in history," the executive said.

When asked about viewing, Sarandos said, "You can imagine, all viewing is up. It's up on Netflix, on CNN on television in general. The system has been very robust and can help out a lot of people. People certainly are watching a lot more Netflix."
