Coronavirus triggers cancellations, closures and contingency
planning across the country
With daily reports of the deadly coronavirus spreading (Links to
an external site.) into communities across the
country, schools (Links to an external site.), companies,
religious organizations and local governments are grappling
with whether to shut down facilities and cancel events or to
proceed, cautiously, as planned.

2. Increasingly, organizations are opting to cancel large
gatherings, encourage remote work or take other steps (Links to
an external site.) reflecting an abundance of caution about the
virus, according to interviews with officials in several states.
Others are making contingency plans about more-significant
steps they might take in the case of a wider outbreak.
Washington Gov. Jay Inslee (Links to an external site.) (D) said
people should prepare for disruptions in their daily lives as a
result of the novel coronavirus, which has killed nine people in
the state.
“Folks should begin to think about avoiding large events and
assemblies,” Inslee said Monday. “We are not making a request
formally right now for events to be canceled, but people should
be prepared for that possibility.”
While the virus has been deadliest in Washington state, it has
spread across the United States, with more than a dozen states
reporting infections. There have been several instances of
people contracting the virus while inside the country.
The response effort so far has been fragmented, with conflicting
messages about the level of threat and the need for significant
lifestyle changes.
“The general rule is, use common sense,” said Health and
Human Services Secretary Alex Azar.
President Trump, who has played down the risk posed by the
outbreak, said he did not agree with contingency plans being
considered for the NCAA’s March Madness basketball
tournament, including a proposal to play games in empty arenas.
“That’s a tough move. No, I’m not prepared for that,” Trump
said Tuesday (Links to an external site.). “But let them do what
they want to do. . . . I don’t think it would be necessary.”
With the lack of a coordinated national approach, local officials
and individual communities are rushing to make their own
plans. Some schools are considering closures, some companies
have implemented restrictions on travel for employees, and
religious organizations are altering how they conduct services.
Families are reconsidering spring break travel, and organizers

3. of major conferences are weighing whether to move ahead or
cancel.
Emerald City Comic-Con, a convention for almost 100,000
comics and pop culture enthusiasts, will go on as planned in
downtown Seattle next week.
More than 2,000 miles away in Chicago,
where coronavirus (Links to an external site.) has had a more
limited impact, organizers canceled the country’s largest trade
show for housewares, fearing that the gathering of 60,000
people could worsen the outbreak.
Leaders contemplating closures and cancellations must consider
whether doing so will do more harm than good by creating a
sense of panic or forcing people quickly to make alternative
arrangements for matters such as child-care, said Brittany
Kmush, who teaches public health at Syracuse University.
“It’s definitely going to be a balancing act — balancing the
risks and the benefits of canceling schools, businesses, social
events,” she said. “I don’t think there’s any kind of blanket
right answer.”
The International Monetary Fund and the World
Bank announced Tuesday (Links to an external site.) that they
would not hold their annual spring meeting in Washington next
month, instead opting for a virtual format. They cited concerns
over the coronavirus, which was first detected in China and has
since spread to dozens of countries.
In the United States, the impact of the virus has been
particularly acute in California’s Santa Clara County, home to
Silicon Valley and, now, 11 confirmed cases of coronavirus
infections, according to local news reports.
Several of the country’s biggest tech companies, including
Facebook, Google and Apple, announced a range of protective
measures, canceling employee travel and events involving large
gatherings, increasing office cleaning and asking employees to
work remotely.
Monday afternoon, Twitter became the first major technology
company in the United States to advise employees to work from

4. home. All employees around the world are being “strongly
encouraged” to do so, said Jennifer Christie, Twitter’s head of
human resources, in a tweet.
“We are operating out of an abundance of caution and the
utmost dedication to keeping our Tweeps healthy,” Twitter said
in a post announcing the work-from-home plan.
Google on Tuesday said employees should not take any
international trips for work, though they still can travel
domestically. The company has more than 118,000 employees
around the world and already had some travel restrictions in
place for affected countries.
Facebook canceled its annual F8 developer conference, which
brings about 5,000 developers from around the world to Silicon
Valley for workshops and product announcements. It was to
take place in May in San Jose. Google followed suit on
Tuesday, canceling its I/O developer conference, which was
scheduled to start May 12 in Mountain View, Calif.
Other events are being canceled or postponed over fears that
large gatherings could increase transmission of the novel
coronavirus.
Organizers of SXSW, a sprawling nine-day event in Austin that
kicks off March 13, say they do not plan to call off the
conference. The main event, which drew more than 76,000
attendees last year, will provide extra disinfectant products for
attendees.
School superintendents throughout the country are pondering
whether and how to close their school systems (Links to an
external site.) as the coronavirus approaches, weighing the pros
and cons and seeking advice from outside experts including the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, state health
officials and professional groups.
The executive director of the American Association of School
Administrators said his organization fielded at least 60 inquiries
about closures from concerned superintendents over the past
week. Daniel A. Domenech, the executive director, said he gave
similar advice to each: The moment you must drop everything

5. and close, he said, comes when students, parents or teachers
contract the novel coronavirus.
That holds true even if just one person is infected, Domenech
said — because, in schools, infections can spread dangerously
fast.
“Schools are the breeding grounds: Teachers are always sick,
because kids are always sick,” he said. “They bring in the germs
and, boom, the classroom is infected.”
Throughout Virginia, school officials are huddling in closed-
door meetings and dusting off decades-old emergency plans.
Some are evaluating the possibility of tele-education, whether
that means Skype sessions between teachers and students or
reconfiguring existing online learning systems that are more
typically used to upload assignments such as essays.
“Our elementary schools, for example, have iPads,” said Frank
Bellavia, the spokesman for Arlington Public Schools in
Virginia. “Are there ways we could push lessons to iPads?
We’re trying to plan all that stuff.”
Religious institutions have also been affected, with pastors,
rabbis and imams reconsidering aspects of their services that
could expose people to the spread of the virus.
In Kirkland, Wash., one of the communities hit hardest so far by
coronavirus, Kol Ami synagogue decided to continue holding
worship services, at least until public health officials advise
otherwise. But the synagogue has canceled other events,
including “Senior Shmooz” and “Exploring Our Jewish
Heritage.” While the holiday of Purim falls on Monday night on
the Jewish calendar, Kol Ami will postpone its Purim party until
late May, Rabbi Yohanna Kinburg wrote (Links to an external
site.)on Facebook.
Kol Ami might be one of the most directly affected synagogues,
but many Reconstructionist rabbis are nervous, said Rabbi Elyse
Wechterman, the executive director of Reconstructionist
Rabbinical Organization. Wechterman said that rabbis have
been discussing in private email conversations whether to
cancel programs.

6. Reconstructionist rabbis are to hold their biennial convention in
Puerto Rico starting March 15. They plan to study issues of
importance to the denomination, including climate change and
economic inequality.
“We are — well, we were — well, we still are expecting about
100 rabbis,” Wechterman said.
At this point, if the virus breaks out in Puerto Rico, or other
conditions force them to cancel their plans, they’ll lose much of
the money they’ve already spent on the conference.
“It will be hard,” Wechterman said, before trying to put things
into perspective: “There are currently people in Puerto Rico
who are living under tents and don’t have roofs.”
Catholic dioceses nationwide have advised parishes to rethink
some of the ways they worship, whether that means avoiding
shaking hands during the passing of the peace, asking priests to
hand the Communion wafer to parishioners instead of putting it
into their mouths or banning shared Communion cups.
Political figures also had to weigh the impact of making
changes on the campaign trail in response to the coronavirus as
they prepare for elections in November.
Trump said Monday he felt his rallies were “very safe” for
thousands of people to attend. Former vice president Joe
Biden (Links to an external site.), who is competing in the
Democratic presidential primaries, told CNN Monday that he
was making plans for how he might campaign differently.
“We’re listening to the CDC,” he said.
Ultra Music Festival, a three-day event that is a major tourism
boon for Miami-Dade County, Fla., is still scheduled to go on as
planned March 20-22 at Bayfront Park in downtown Miami. The
electronic-music festival, which draws more than 100,000
attendees from around the world, has been held for 20 years.
Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos Gimenez said in a tweet Tuesday
that Ultra was still on, two days after state officials announced
two confirmed cases of the virus.
“We’re not canceling any major events in Miami-Dade County,
such as Ultra, following the guidance from Florida’s Surgeon

7. General on #Coronavirus,” wrote Gimenez, a Republican who is
running for Congress.
That decision was blasted by state Rep. Michael Grieco, a
Democrat who represents a district that includes Miami Beach
and a part of downtown Miami that hosts the festival. He said
that while “nobody wants to cancel Ultra,” the health of the
community should be the priority.
“Despite the backlash, I probably would be inclined to heavily,
heavily consider canceling the event or pushing the organizers
to come up with some alternative dates, something along those
lines,” he told The Washington Post. “Putting tens of thousands
of people sweating all over each other, coughing and sneezing
all over each other for two or three days is probably not the
smartest idea.”
Ultra representatives did not immediately respond to a request
for comment.
Public transportation systems across the country are also
making preparations for the anticipated spread of the virus,
looking for ways to maintain good hygiene without disrupting
commuters’ routines.
In Washington, D.C., Metro activated its pandemic task force in
January, and it has ordered stepped-up cleaning and disinfecting
of stations, buses and rail cars. The agency has ordered
25 percent more hospital-grade cleaning solution, disposable
gloves and face masks as it enters its “Phase 1” emergency
preparedness for the possible spread of the virus in the nation’s
capital.
Metro could shift into a “Phase 2” if any confirmed cases
surfaced in the region, Metro spokesman Dan Stessel said. He
could not say what that phase would entail, partly because
health officials do not know definitively how to combat the
virus.
Colleges are also trying to chart a path forward, emailing
students advice on best hygiene practices and making plans for
how to respond if the virus infects someone on campus.
At the University of Washington in Seattle, school leaders

8. haven’t been advised by public health officials of what might
trigger a suspension of operations on campus, said Denzil J.
Suite, the vice president for student life.
“We’re all in this with the rest of the country,” he said, “doing
the best we can with information that seems to be changing
hourly.”
