Nvidia is the latest firm to pull out of MWC.
— Matthew Hughes (@matthewhughes) February 8, 2020
At this point, I’m doubting whether the event will actually take place. https://t.co/ZGFMAXljMM
Nvidia becomes the fourth exhibitor to partially or fully drop out of MWC 2020, following Ericsson, LG, and ZTE.#MWC2020 https://t.co/UBZRKtSkTT via @Verge

Latest on MWC: nobody from Hubai province allowed, and anyone who has been in China will need proof they have been outside of China 14 days prior to MWC (i.e., leave China today if you want to attend). Also lots of Purell.

I have sympathy with the GSMA. Of course I do. I'm still planning to go to attend MWC.

But as per these new rules: how will it know who has been in China? https://t.co/WMZ6SzvJf8

people usually roll their eyes when it comes to these industry events. tremendous amount of stress and planning, especially around holiday time, goes to make sure “we need to be ready for MWC demo” https://t.co/Ouk7prowhz

Wow first LG, then Ericsson and now Nvidia. How many more companies are going to pull out of this show before it’s all said and done? #MWC20 https://t.co/IFs0Mdzcq0

And how many would-be #MWC20 attendees from China already had airlines cancel their flights days ago? https://t.co/u2tKeGSrL5
— Rob Pegoraro (@robpegoraro) February 9, 2020
MWC is going to feel like a small show. The number of attendees from China will be minuscule if GSMA enforces these rules, and many others will stay away out of fear.
— Avi Greengart (@greengart) February 9, 2020
Well, this is bad. The show is now very clearly under threat of collapse. I think it's more likely than not it will still go on, but there's a real danger of cancellation now. https://t.co/qFtIECbxbT

New restrictions for #MWC20 from GSMA. Travellers need to prove they have been outside China 14 days (and are not coming from Hubei), and self-certify they have not been in contact with anyone infected. Temperature screening to be implemented.

IMO the only thing that could get MWC cancelled at this point is protests in the city of Barcelona related to coronavirus. No sign of any public unrest at this time, and WHO is reporting a decline in case growth in China. I think it's gonna be fine, Ericsson et al or not.

아마존도 이번 MWC에 불참하겠다고 발표. https://t.co/t16WpcOyD0 아마존이 이번 MWC에서 AWS홍보를 위해 컨퍼런스 스폰서 등 많은 준비를 하고 있었다는데 아쉽게 됐음.

MWC가 중국 후베이성에서 온 사람은 출입을 금지하며, 중국을 다녀온 사람은 중국을 나온지 14일이 지났다는 증명을 보여줘야만 한다고 발표. 즉, MWC 가려는 중국인은 최소한 오늘안에 중국밖으로 나가있어야 함. https://t.co/rJ9fjbTBBf GSMA지못미…
