The Writers Guild of America West has called off a membership meeting scheduled for Tuesday night at the Hollywood Palladium as a precaution against the coronavirus.

The WGA also said its negotiating committee will not hold face-to-face meetings with members and will instead share the information about the upcoming negotiations via email over the next two weeks.

The guild notified its 10,000 members about the decision on Tuesday. The WGA and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers are scheduled to begin bargaining on March 23.

The current three-year deal expires on May 1. The move comes a day after SAG-AFTRA suspended all in-person union meetings to help stop the spread of coronavirus.
