LAS VEGAS, Jan 1 ― CES will now end a day earlier than planned, the organiser of the global technology and gadget show said, after companies including Amazon.com Inc and General Motors Co dropped out of attending the Las Vegas event in person due to Omicron concerns.
The spread of the highly transmissible Omicron variant has led to a sharp jump in Covid-19 infections across the world, making many reconsider their travel plans and leading to thousands of flight cancellations.
