What are things to consider when determining if an event needs to be postponed or canceled?
section_content: Consult with local public health officials and continually assess, based on
current conditions, whether to postpone, cancel, or significantly reduce the
number of attendees (if possible) at an event or gathering. When determining
if you should postpone or cancel a large gathering or event, consider the:

How close together attendees will be at the event.
Potential ways to minimize economic impact to attendees, staff, and the local community.
Amount of spread in local community and the communities from where your attendees are likely to travel.
