Governor Gavin Newsom announced March 11 that public health experts in California suggest canceling events of 250 people or more. The recommendation stands until the end of March to prevent the potential spread of the new coronavirus.
Attendees of smaller events should try to maintain a distance between people of about 6 feet, the officials suggested. People who are at greater risk due to existing health problems or advanced age should only attend gatherings of about 10 people.
