Is the White House Easter Egg Roll 2020 Canceled?

One of the country's most popular presidential holiday traditions is the White House Easter Egg Roll. But was the Easter egg roll canceled this year due to the coronavirus?

Unfortunately, the White House Easter Egg Roll has been canceled to help mitigate the spread of COVID-19.
The White House Easter Egg Roll was canceled shortly after President Donald Trump issued a national emergency for COVID-19
Just three days after the White House declared a national emergency for COVID-19, the Office of the First Lady announced that the White House Easter Egg Roll would be canceled. The Easter egg roll was canceled on March 16, 2020, according to a press release.

Melania Trump took the opportunity to encourage all Americans to follow guidelines issued by the Centers for Disease Control to stop the spread of the coronavirus. These tips include washing your hands for at least 20 seconds, using hand sanitizer when soap and water are not available, staying home, and distancing yourself socially. The CDC also advised wearing a mask in public places and cleaning and disinfecting frequently touched surfaces.
