More sad news this morning as it has been confirmed that 2020’s WonderCon, which was set to take place April 10th – April 12th, has been postponed until later in the year.
“To protect public health and slow the rate of transmission of COVID-19, the California Department of Public Health announced a recommendation that gatherings and events of more than 250 people should either be postponed or cancelled,” reads the official statement from the organisers. “Comic-Con (organizer of WonderCon) will abide by this recommendation.”
“Therefore WonderCon Anaheim, scheduled for April 10-12, 2020 in Anaheim, California, will be postponed until a later date. We will begin processing refunds in the coming days.”
The statement goes on to cover the potential postponement of July’s San Diego Comic Con which is also organised by CCI.
“We continue to work closely with officials in San Diego and at this time no decision has been made regarding the rescheduling of Comic-Con slated to take place this summer; July 23-26, 2020,” the statement continued. “We urge everyone to follow the recommendations set forth by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and your local health officials.”
As the entertainment industry continues to fold under the weight of coronavirus we watch and wait for more news as to when these events may be rescheduled.
