What happened

According to sources familiar with the planscompany, many Samsung employees from South Korea and the USA refuse to go to Europe, fearing for their health. Therefore, one of the largest manufacturers will reduce its presence at the MWC 2020 exhibition.

For now, the company still plans to place its stand at MWC, but is considering different options. Most likely, the exact decision will be made closer to the opening of the exhibition.
