FIBO Cologne postponed to second half of the year 2020
FIBO, the world's largest trade show for fitness, wellness and health, planned to be held in April in Cologne, has been postponed to the second half of the year 2020 due to the developments concerning Covid-19.
Commenting on the announcement, Silke Frank, Portfolio Director, FIBO Global Fitness Events, said: “This is not a decision we have taken lightly; our customers, partners and the FIBO team worked incredibly hard on this event. While it is disappointing to postpone, it is imperative that we prioritise the health and safety of everyone involved. Our goal remains to provide the best customer value for everyone attending FIBO.“
Reed Exhibitions as the organiser of FIBO trusts that the decision to postpone the show to the second half of the year ensures that the FIBO continues to serve the fitness industry in the secure and safe conditions needed. The FIBO team will communicate closely with customers and partners over the coming weeks to keep our world of Global Fitness moving in the right direction during this difficult period and is looking together with Cologne Messe for the best available dates in the second half of the year.
FIBO hosts more than 1,000 exhibitors and circa 145,000 visitors from 135 countries every year in Cologne

48 cases in Germany out of 80 million people. 60 cases in America with a population of 300 million. The culture of hysteria and fear compliments of the media.

Wonder how the Arnold Classic will deal with the virus threat.

Gutted...

Weird this is being done, when no European infections let alone spread of this supposed virus has occurred.
The fear mongering doesn't end
Just saw the interview of Fouad with Luke Sandoe and James Hollingshead and they said they are excited to go to the Arnold Brazil and are not worried about any Corona virus

Arnold Classic - most of the people coming to this event and or competing (5,000+ competitors) are from the local area within 8 hours, of which there are 80 million people around, none which have the virus (I would be more concerned about the flu).
Germany postponing this event is interesting, or are they more concerned about the vendors traveling to this event from other countries, etc. That may be more of an issue

Arnold Sports Festival To Screen All Athletes For Coronavirus
By GI Team -February 29, 2020
Amid fears of a coronavirus outbreak in the US, the Arnold Sports Festival announces it will screen all athletes. The Arnold Sports Festival has announced that for the first time in the competition/expo’s history, a medical team directed by Mount Carmel Health System will screen all of its athletes for signs and symptoms of the coronavirus. That would require screening of approx. 22 thousand athletes.
The Arnold Sports Festival brings athletes from over 80 countries to compete in over 80 events. The expo itself expects to have more than 200 thousand visitors to Columbus, OH. These visitors often come from all across the world.
