There’s no end in sight for the coronavirus outbreak, as the number of confirmed Covid-19 cases continues to rise around the world. Aside from China, three major coronavirus hot zones emerged in the past few weeks, including Iran, Italy, and South Korea, which account for over 11,000 cases combined, or more than 10% of the total number of cases worldwide. The infection rate in Italy significantly increased the number of cases in the rest of Europe, as well, and the US has seen a steady increase in new cases over the past couple of weeks.
These developments prompted companies to withdraw from various trade shows. Other events were closed or postponed, with prominent examples including MWC, the Geneva Auto Show, and Google I/O 2020. Others might follow soon. Apple’s WWDC 2020 event might be next, and even the Tokyo Olympic Games are at risk of being canceled. Now, it looks like the outbreak might hinder the launch of various products this year, including Apple’s devices.
