The Daytime Emmys won't let the coronavirus outbreak stop the annual awards show.
CBS announced Wednesday that the ceremony has been set for June 26 as a virtual production, with "recipients and other special guests appearing from home."
"In these challenging times, daytime has been a primary influence in staying connected with its audience, entertaining them and keeping them informed," executive producer and director David McKenzie said in a statement. "We are honored to be a part of it. We are also excited for the challenge of introducing a new format that will celebrate the contributions of daytime television."
The TV awards show, which recognizes programs that air between 2 a.m. and 6 p.m., is one of the first such ceremonies to be held during the pandemic, which has shut down production in Hollywood, New York and around the world.
Last year's Daytime Emmys were held at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium in California, hosted by Mario Lopez and Sheryl Underwood.
The 2020 show will broadcast on June 26 at 8 p.m. EDT on CBS.
