I am planning a conference/mass gathering. Should I cancel the event because of COVID-19?

Can this event be postponed? If not, urge anyone who is sick or anyone at high-risk not to attend. Persons at high-risk for severe COVID-19 illness include people over the age of 60, people with underlying health 14 conditions such as heart disease, lung disease or diabetes, people with diabetes and women who are pregnant.

Try to find ways to give people more physical space so they aren’t in close contact as much as possible. Encourage attendees to maintain health habits, such as frequent hand washing. Clean surfaces with standard cleaners.
