The Coronavirus was first reported found in Wuhan, China, on 31 December 2019 and has since then had an outbreak reaching most parts of the world.
While some hard-hit countries have taken more strict actions, others are currently monitoring the situation a bit further. One thing for sure is that we all get affected in one way or another.
Canceled events
In recent weeks a huge amount of key events and tradeshows in the industry has been canceled or postponed. It all started when several big companies decided not to exhibit at the Mobile World Congress due to health risks, which eventually led to the event being canceled.
