SECON 2020 – Postponed due to Covid-19

Organisers of SECON 2020 in Kintex, Korea have made the decision to postpone the event in light of the Covid-19 virus outbreak in China.

So far more than 40,000 people have been infected around the world, the vast majority inside China and two-thirds of them in Wuhan and surrounding Hubei province. There have been 910 deaths, all but two of them in mainland China.

Chinese data of about 17,000 cases shows 82% of cases are deemed mild. The data also shows that only 15% of the cases are severe and 3% are deemed critical.

Overall, the WHO said less than two percent of patients infected with the virus have died, mostly due to multiple organ failures in elderly people and those with underlying health issues.

The event is has been rescheduled by the show organisers, UMB BN Co. Ltd., for July 6-8, Kintex, Korea.

Below is the official statement from the show organisers which is also posted on the event website. It read:-

UBM BN Co. Ltd., the fair manager of SECON 2020 originally scheduled for 18-20 March 2020 has made the reluctant decision to reschedule the event to 6-8 July at Kintex, Korea.
