The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak is a major shock for the global economy, disrupting production, trade and business worldwide. Many countries have already adopted or are adopting measures aimed at preventing the further spread of the virus, increasing the capacity of their health systems and providing relief to those citizens and sectors of the economy that are particularly impacted.

More than 70% of the companies are estimated to have losses.

The coronavirus outbreak is affecting hundreds of thousands of people. It is not only a life-threatening disease but it is also having a growing impact on the global economy. It is an evolving unpredictable situation having a major impact on companies.

Given the recent developments relating to Covid-19, it is everyone’s duty to stay safe and keep safe our community. Taking this into account, we have updated our business continuity practices with the following, effective as of today, Monday 16th March 2020:

1. A high percentage of our employees are working from home till further notice.

2. A very limited number of support employees will be working from the office.

In light of the recent global developments around the COVID-19 virus, the event organiser has decided to postpone Seamless Middle East from 25-26 March to 8-9 September 2020.

The event will again take place at the Dubai World Trade Center.
