U.S. health officials' claims that the risk of the virus is low to the general public hasn't curbed concern about COVID-19.
The virus is known to be transmitted through close contact, and large gatherings of people can foster its rapid spread. Because of growing concerns about COVID-19, the disease caused by the virus, Microsoft canceled its MVP/Regional Director Summit. The annual event was set to be held at the Microsoft Redmond campus in King County between March 16 and 19 but will now have an online-only format.
In a statement, Reedpop said:"We recognize that not everyone will agree with our decision: it is our feeling that this community values coming together and building connections, even in difficult times; that artists depend on fan relations to keep their work and careers growing; and that the very vibrancy of what makes our community special is just the type of energy and optimism that can buoy us as a broader community through these challenging and anxious times.
Based on the information experts now have on the virus, people under 18 are not a high-risk group, but several adults connected to the North Shore School District in Snohomish and King counties may have been exposed and one tested positive. Superintendent Michelle Reid announced on Wednesday night that all schools would be closed for 14 days beginning on Thursday.
"We are taking this strategic approach not because we think by doing so we will stop an epidemic; we are simply trying to do our part to slow the spread of COVID-19," Reid said in a letter to families.
