CES 2022 to Now End a Day Earlier Than Planned as Omicron Cases Surge
Organizers of the Global Technology and Gadgets Show said that CES will now end one day earlier than planned, after companies such as Amazon and General Motors withdrew from participating in Las Vegas events in person because of Omicron’s concerns.
The organizer of the event, the Consumer Technology Association (CTA), said on Friday: “This step is an additional safety measure to the current health agreement for CES,” and announced that the event will end on January 7.
The spread of the highly contagious variant of Omicron has led to a dramatic increase in the number of people infected with COVID-19 worldwide, causing many people to reconsider their travel plans and leading to the cancellation of thousands of flights. The number of new COVID-19 cases in the United States has doubled. According to Reuters statistics, it reached a record high of an average of 329,000 people per day in eight days.
Due to concerns about new looms, many companies have already withdrawn from exhibiting in person at a virtual and personally planned event with more than 2,200 exhibitors starting on January 5th.
In the past few days, many companies, including Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), Procter & Gamble, Alphabet’s Google, and Facebook’s parent company Meta Platforms, have also abandoned their face-to-face plans. Sony Electronics of the Sony Group said it will restrict staffing and attendance at events.
All attendees in Las Vegas will be required to be fully vaccinated and wear masks. According to the CTA’s statement, a COVID-19 test kit will also be provided at the venue.
