就在稍早每年在西班牙巴賽隆納舉辦的 MWC 通訊大展因為受到中國武漢肺炎（新型冠狀肺炎 Covid-19）影響，官方終於在諸多大廠紛紛取消參展後正式宣布取消今年的活動，也由於官方資料中使用的是取消（cancel) 字詞，因此今年將不會延期，而是直接等到明年 2021 才會再次舉辦。
由於武漢肺炎的疫情日益擴大，MWC 主辦方 GSMA 表示考量到參展者、供應商以及民眾旅遊的安全，這次將會全面取消展覽活動，而原訂將在西班牙舉辦發表會的小米、OPPO、華為等品牌方，截至發稿前尚未有近一步的回應說明，但推測將會改為線上發表會的可能性極高。
官方新聞全文如下：
“Since the first edition of Mobile World Congress in Barcelona in 2006, the GSMA has convened the industry, governments, ministers, policymakers, operators and industry leaders across the broader ecosystem.
With due regard to the safe and healthy environment in Barcelona and the host country today, the GSMA has cancelled MWC Barcelona 2020 because the global concern regarding the coronavirus outbreak, travel concern and other circumstances, make it impossible for the GSMA to hold the event.
The Host City Parties respect and understand this decision.
The GSMA and the Host City Parties will continue to be working in unison and supporting each other for MWC Barcelona 2021 and future editions.
Our sympathies at this time are with those affected in China, and all around the world.”
