GSMA Cancels MWC Due to Coronavirus

The annual Mobile World Congress was canceled due to the coronavirus. Many companies had pulled out, as we previously reported.

"With due regard to the safe and healthy environment in Barcelona and the host country today, the GSMA has cancelled MWC Barcelona 2020 because the global concern regarding the coronavirus outbreak, travel concern and other circumstances, make it impossible for the GSMA to hold the event." The group made the announcement Wednesday.

GSMA didn't immediately answer further queries.
