THE coronavirus outbreak could put Holyrood parties' spring conferences at risk, it has emerged.
After the UK LibDems cancelled their York conference, due to be held this weekend, over virus concerns, other parties' events have been called into question.
LibDems said it had chosen to cancel the event “after careful consideration of the latest health advice and risks”.

The Scottish Greens are due to meet in Kirkcaldy on March 28, the Scottish Tories are set to meet in Perth on March 15 and 16, the Scottish LibDems have scheduled their conference for May 22-24 in Peebles, and the SNP have planned a one-day conference in Aviemore on June 13. Scottish Labour are not holding a spring conference but will meet later in the year.
The Scottish Greens have now said their Kirkcaldy event is under review and it was "looking likely" that it would be called off.
And the Scottish LibDems said while their event is also under review, it is still a few months until it is due to take place. The Scottish Tories, too, have said their conference is under review.
A spokesperson for the SNP said: "We will update our members as and when there is a change of plans."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
