City Council Speaker Corey Johnson said Tuesday that “out of an abundance of caution,” he’s canceling his planned State of the City speech this week in response to the coronavirus outbreak.

“We felt this was the right decision to ensure that Council employees and the hundreds of guests we invited remain safe and healthy,” said Johnson, who had planned to deliver his second address as speaker Thursday at Manhattan Community College.

“I was looking forward to the speech, but at a time when we are urging New Yorkers to consider measures like telecommuting and staggered work hours, it seemed an unnecessary risk,” he added.

Johnson said that while the Health Department is not calling for a “prohibition on public events for all New Yorkers at this time,” it is urging the sick and elderly to stay away from large gatherings.

The city as of Tuesday morning had 25 confirmed cases of coronavirus, Mayor Bill de Blasio said.

Only late last week, Johnson was encouraging New Yorkers to get out and about.

“You can still go enjoy a concert or basketball game, it’s important that we get out there,” the speaker said last Thursday.

Johnson, who is mulling a 2021 mayoral run, plans to announce at a later date the policies and proposals he was set to unveil during the speech.

During his first State of the City as speaker last March, Johnson promoted his vision for improving the city’s mass transit system. This included breaking up the state-run Metropolitan Transportation Authority and transferring city trains and buses to a mayoral-run agency called “Big Apple Transit” — or BAT.
