Fightful was told that the meeting was pretty run of the mill, but that WWE wanted to take the step and precaution in order to inform their roster to prevent some worst case scenarios. 

The Coronavirus has spread to America, even hitting Tampa Bay, which will be the site of next month's WrestleMania event. There are dozens of other wrestling shows running throughout that week as well.

New Japan Pro Wrestling was forced to cancel several upcoming events due to the virus, including their entire New Japan Cup tournament. Travel to Japan has also been restricted by some airlines.
