The Belgium government has affirmed the risk the outbreak poses with its issuance today of advice to cancel indoor events with more than 1,000 people to contain the spread of the new coronavirus.
“Due to the magnitude of the unanticipated public health and safety issues posed by the rapidly escalating COVID-19 outbreaks and contagion, we have no choice but to postpone the upcoming edition,” said Liz Plizga, Group Vice President, Diversified Communications.
“In order to preserve business continuity for our community, we will communicate the new 2020 dates by no later than 18 March 2020 and will post the dates on our website as well,” added Plizga.
