Coronavirus: WonderCon Postponed; Comic-Con Safe For Now

As a result of the coronavirus and California banning all events with more than 250 people, the organizers behind WonderCon have announced the convention will be postponed to a later date.

Comic-Con, the organizers behind WonderCon, took to Twitter to announce the news and said, at least for now, that July’s San Diego Comic-Con convention is currently safe and that there are no plans to cancel the event.

Update: Disney closes parks in California.
