Some media are claiming this cancellation of an event which did not even have an official confirmation. There are many news that we find about the more than possible cancellation of the keynote that was expected for next March 31, so the Cupertino company is likely not holding its event this month.
Nor is it that we already had the invitations on the table and there is no official statement from the company since they have not announced anything officially. Logically, the media know that this March usually has an Apple presentation, the first of the year, but this time it seems that It will be time to wait a little longer to see the news.
This possible cancellation of the event is not that it is something that surprises us seeing the amount of events being canceled by the Covid-19 virusRather, quite the opposite since it is a direct measure to avoid the contagion of more people. We have to think that people from all over the world travel to the keynotes and there are places such as China or more recently Italy, that right now nobody is allowed to leave the country and this complicates all logistics with the media, etc.
Not really all the necessary safety conditions are met to carry out an event in which people can be infected by the new coronavirus, so really the best decision is to postpone all these events and wait. It is true that a company like Apple has had a program marked since the beginning of the year and it is difficult to organize with these setbacks, but prevention is better than cure and in this Apple also wants to be an example for what although we don't really know anything officially, it is more than likely that this month we will not have a keynote.
