Gustin was one of those to voice his sorrow, sharing a photo of himself with Williams and Jesse L. Martin taken during the 2014 pilot episode.

Gustin appeared to be referencing the international concern over the COVID-19, or Coronavirus, outbreak. The United States, along with Canada and many nations across the globe, have been put on lockdown and aren’t allowing citizens to go to non-essential businesses or socialize in groups outside those they live with.
