Amazon joins a growing list of companies no longer attending the Mobile World Congress (MWC), which runs in Barcelona from Feb. 24-27. The departing companies, Amazon included, cite concerns over the coronavirus, according to Reuters.
This is only the latest pull-out in recent days, with a list that includes telecommunications company Ericsson, tech mammoth LG, and computer graphics hardware designer Nvidia. They've all dropped out of MWC because of the virus. As of Friday, Samsung is still planning to attend but says it will send fewer executives to the conference, according to CNET.
MWC is the largest mobile event globally, showcasing big innovations in the mobile tech space. So it's a telling sign that the coronavirus has scared off some of the biggest companies in that field from attending the event.
