Facebook is canceling F8, its annual conference for developers, because of the new coronavirus.

The conference was scheduled to take place in early May in the San Francisco Bay area. Last year’s event was attended by more than 5,000 people from around the world.

Facebook says it is planning other ways for its developer community to get together, including live streams, locally hosted events and videos.
