CANCELLED
Aug 4 (Reuters) – The 2021 New York auto show AT THE LAST MINUTE has been canceled due to the risks posed by the more infectious Delta variant of the coronavirus, its organizers said on Wednesday.
The New York International Auto Show has become a casualty of the fast-spreading coronavirus Delta variant. Show organizers said Wednesday that they’ve decided to cancel it this year. The reasons are the growing spread of the variant and recent restrictions announced by state and local officials to fight it.
“Over the past few weeks, especially within the past few days, circumstances have changed, making it more difficult to create an event at the high standard that we and our clients expect,” Mark Schienberg, the show’s president, said in a statement.
The annual New York auto show is typically the biggest convention gathering in New York City each year, drawing more than 1 million visitors to the Jacob Javits Convention Center in Manhattan for the multiday event and generating millions of dollars in revenue for local businesses. Spokesman Chris Sams said.
