As the coronavirus continues to dominate the news cycle, many Seattle event organizers have canceled or postponed their events for the coming days, following a King County recommendation to consider postponing events and gatherings. Many other event organizers and venues, however, (including, notably, Comic Con) have made public statements that they will not be canceling their events as they continue to monitor the situation, but that they have put extra measures in place to ensure public health.
We’ve rounded up everything we’ve heard related to event cancellations and non-cancellations below, and we’ll add to this post as we hear more. If we’re missing something, email us to let us know.
Remember that, even if events are continuing as planned, you should not go out if you’re sick. King County Public Health also is urging residents at a higher risk of severe illness to stay home and away from large groups of people as much as possible. If you’re healthy, there are no restrictions in place about events and gatherings.
