Added: Given the current global situation, more events are going virtual, being postponed, and being canceled every single day. We want to acknowledge that we’re all being affected by COVID-19 🦠(aka Coronavirus disease) in different ways. Our thoughts and prayers go out to everyone affected, especially those who are in quarantine and have lost loved ones. Let’s follow these precautions religiously. And, on that note, we’re releasing support for the new Structured Data properties as per Google’s latest announcement. The Events that are getting canceled and moving online can now be marked using Rank Math’s Event Schema.
