The coronavirus epidemic has been affecting a number of countries, with the most number of cases in China.
Recently, Konica Minolta had to halt development, production and sales in China until February 9 with the suspension not affecting operations in Hong Kong and the healthcare business in Xiamen.
The global technology giant issued a statement confirming the move that it has “suspended operations in development, production and sales in China until February 9” following the coronavirus outbreak.

“As the Novel Coronavirus continue to rage on a large scale across China, many provinces and cities have activated the highest level of response mechanism for major public health emergencies,” it stated.
