COVID-19 and Furries: Furnal Equinox goes virtual for 2021

Canadian furcon Furnal Equinox announced this week the cancellation of their 2021 in-person convention. They say the pandemic’s current uncertainty posed a risk to attendee safety. A virtual convention will be held instead, and tickets will be moved over to their next physical event, possibly in 2022.

For perspective, the total number of cases in the Canadian province of Ontario, where the furcon is held, is 94,009 as of 8pm Singapore Time today. The graph to the right shows that there is an increasing trend of cases at the moment. 

With that, we have a total of 89 cancelled, 1 deferred, 2 to hold this year and 29 furcons completed.
