最近許多手機大廠接力宣布取消參加今年的MWC世界通訊大展，而今日稍早主辦單位也宣布了確定取消展覽的訊息。在此之前，包含像是 LG、Ericsson、亞馬遜旗下AWS、Sony Mobile、NVIDIA、Intel、聯發科、.. Nokia等大廠也都先宣布退展了。

根據GSMA新聞稿指出，考慮到今天巴塞羅那和東道國的安全健康環境，GSMA取消了MWC巴塞羅那2020，因為全球對冠狀病毒爆發，旅行和其他情況的擔憂使GSMA無法舉辦該活動。
新聞稿中也特別提到，GSMA和主辦城市方將繼續保持一致，並為MWC Barcelona 2021和以後的版本相互支持。

目前，我們對在中國以及世界各地受影響的人們表示同情。

新聞稿原文如下:

12 February 2020, Barcelona: Since the first edition of Mobile World Congress in Barcelona in 2006, the GSMA has convened the industry, governments, ministers, policymakers, operators and industry leaders across the broader ecosystem.

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 Host City Parties respect and understand this decision.

The GSMA and the Host City Parties will continue to be working in unison and supporting each other for MWC Barcelona 2021 and future editions.

Our sympathies at this time are with those affected in China, and all around the world.
