Coronavirus and events

[somanydevices]

I'm helping run 2 events.

One's a weekend residential away with about 30 adults and 8 kids.
One's a community event, similar to an open gardens event with lots of participants locally.

Both in May,

What kind of contingency planning would you do for coronavirus?
If you could cancel now without the participants losing much money but ploughing ahead meant them potentially losing money if the virus means we have to cancel last minute, would you?

Is it madness to plan events right now or are we meant to be carrying on as normal.

WWYD?

Is there any actual solid advice or data I can base such planning on? Has there been advice about attending such events yet?

hopeful bump!

I'd maybe suggest posting in the coronovirus section.. you'll probably get more traffic/response there.

Bump it in to the right topic and you will have a captive audience.

Oh, I had no idea there was a coronavirus section! Right, I'll go there then, thanks :)
