The coronavirus is generating important problems at the socio-sanitary level and also the closure of the Chinese borders. In addition, massive events are being canceled or postponed around the world. The last one has been this year's Game Developer Conference or GDC, which has been postponed until after the summer. This event has been postponed, basically, because Electronic Arts, Facebook and Microsoft canceled their attendance.
A few weeks ago, the Mobile World Congress 2020 was canceled precisely because of this: the large number of companies that decided not to attend. It seems that concern about the coronavirus is growing, especially since Italy has registered a large number of infections. Sporting events in Italy are being held behind closed doors in an effort to control the spread of the virus.

In light of the recent spread of the coronavirus, the organizers of GDC 2020 have decided to postpone the event. It will only be for a few months, as it will apparently be held after the summer, though a specific date has not yet been announced.
Remember that the event that is held every year in San Francisco, was scheduled to be held between March 16 and 18. Before the cancellations started, there was already talk about a possible cancellation of this event. That large companies such as Microsoft or Facebook, among others, announced that they will not attend, has been the final reason.
At the moment there is not much data on the celebration of the event after the summer and the companies that will attend the event. We assume that as things progress, we will have more information about it.
It seems certain that it will not be the last event to be postponed or canceled due to the coronavirus. Currently, it seems difficult to carry out these events, due to the risk of spreading this disease. It should be noted that mortality is lower than the common flu, so you don't have to lose your head over this either.
