Google officially canceled its annual Google I/O developer conference.

Originally, the company canceled its “physical” event due to the growing outbreak of the coronavirus. Instead, Google planned to livestream the event.

But that’s not happening anymore, either.

First spotted by 9to5Google, the tech giant took to Twitter to announce the news, explaining the decision was “out of concern for the health and safety of our developers, employees, and local communities—and in line with ‘shelter in place’ requirements by the local Bay Area government.” 

A #GoogleIO update: Out of concern for the health and safety of our developers, employees, and local communities — and in line with “shelter in place” requirements by the local Bay Area government — we sadly will not be holding an I/O event in any capacity this year. (1/3)
