“Due to the outbreak and continued concerns about the new coronavirus, Amazon will withdraw from exhibiting and participating in Mobile World Congress 2020,” the company said in a statement on Sunday. The February 24-27 event will go ahead as planned, the GSMA telecoms industry association, which runs the Congress, confirmed in a statement on Sunday before Amazon said it was pulling out, adding that they would tighten health precautions to guard against the coronavirus outbreak.
Some 5,000-6,000 visitors typically come from China to the world’s premier telecoms industry gathering, where companies spend millions on stands and hospitality to fill their order books for the year ahead.
