Protect yourself from Coronavirus (COVID-19)

The best way to prevent the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic illness is by avoiding your exposure to the virus. Clean your hands often, use soap and water for at least 20 seconds or a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol to clean your hands more frequently.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands or after being in the public.
Avoid close contact with people who are sick. Maintain a safe distance between yourself and other people if COVID-19 is spreading in your community.
Stay home if you’re sick and take help from local health authorities and medical professionals.
Make sure to cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or use the inside of your elbow when you cough or sneeze. Properly dispose the used tissues in the trash, and immediately clean your hands with soap and water or a hand sanitizer.
Wear a face mask if you are sick or if you are around other people (e.g., sharing a room or vehicle) and before you enter a healthcare provider’s office. Do not wear a face mask unless you are caring for someone who is sick.

MWC press conferences from ZTE and LG gets cancelled over Coronavirus concerns


As we are getting closer the Mobile World Congress (MWC) trade exhibition that will take place in Barcelona, Spain later this month, and several manufacturer's already having their media event scheduled for the upcoming occurrence, we hear from ZTE and LG that, the companies will be cancelling their MWC media conferences this year and will withdraw from participating at the world's largest exhibition for the mobile industry, considering the global emergency declared by the World Health Organisation on the rising situation related to the novel Coronavirus outbreak across the world. The virus has has killed over 400 people and affected 20000+ people, while continuing it's epidemic spread to more countries and cities. Recently we saw Apple shutting down all their offline stores and offices in the mainland China over the present circumstances. There are also several reports coming in from China that claims to have impact on the production of devices from the industry due to the latest outbreak in the country.

 ZTE's confirmed to cancel their press conference due to practical issues like travel and visa delays, even keeping in mind the mild case of xenophobia that makes it's way with the disease.
[We] tend to be an overly courteous company, and simply don't want to make people uncomfortable, said ZTE's representative to THE VERGE.
And with a latest statement released by the South Korean multinational electronics company, LG Electronics, the phone maker too announced that in view of safety of their employees, partners and customers, they have decided to step back from exhibiting and participating at this year's MWC.
This decision removes the risk of exposing hundreds of LG employees to international travel which has already become more restrictive as the virus continues to spread across borders. In lieu of its participation in MWC, LG will be holding separate events in the near future to announce it's 2020 mobile products.

Nokia's MWC press conference is set on February 23, Sunday


Nokia is certainly planning big for this year's Mobile World Congress (MWC) trade exhibition. We have been treated to a number of leaks lately revealing some internal details of some upcoming launches from the Finnish-based manufacturer housed by HMD Global. We anticipate Nokia to introduce the purported Nokia Original Series handset, along with few other high-end and entry-level devices like the Nokia 8.2 5G, Nokia 5.2 and Nokia 1.3, as rumors suggested in the past. However chances of seeing Nokia bring their 9 PureView successor, the alleged and leaked 9.2 PureView smartphone with a professed under-display camera to the MWC show floor looks narrow at this moment, as some up-to-the-date speculations hint towards a September launch, but we never know. The industry have even heard about projects from Nokia that include a foldable smartphone or the 9.2 PureView to be a phone featuring flexible display.

 So with all expectations and excitement, the Nokia press conference have been scheduled on February 23, the day before MWC officially kicks-off, at 4:30 PM (local time) in the Barcelona city of Spain. The same day, Motorola will also have their event live from the country, at 7:00 PM.
