The 2020 New York International Auto Show is officially canceled while its venue remains a 'standby' COVID-19 field hospital

currently has no patients. But the venue is still closed and the hospital remains in "standby mode," causing the Greater New York Automobile Dealers Association — which owns and runs the show — to cancel this year's NYIAS entirely.

"We are extremely proud of the role the Javits Center has played during this difficult time, and we understand the need for it to remain ready to serve," Mark Schienberg, president of the Greater New York Automobile Dealers Association, said in a statement. "We also understand the immense planning needed for the automakers and their exhibit partners to construct a show of this magnitude. Because of the uncertainty caused by the virus, we feel it would not be prudent to continue with the 2020 show and instead are preparing for an even greater 2021."The show is just one of many major automotive events to be postponed or canceled outright due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
