JAKARTA - The Chinese company Huawei has reportedly canceled a developer conference to launch its newest product designed for 30 years, HDC.Cloud 2020.

"Based on the prevention and control of the pneumonia epidemic situation from Corona virus infection, we place great importance on the health and safety of all participants who will attend this event," said Huawei.

The event is scheduled to take place in Shenzen on February 11-12, and is scheduled to return March 27-28. This conference event is aimed at information technology developers.

The way this virus spreads attacks the human respiratory system and can lead to death. Reportedly, until Wednesday yesterday, this virus has killed 17 people in China.
