  • Trade shows continue to take place around the world safely and successfully. The majority are reporting good attendance. 
  • Global Covid reports show a mixed pattern with cases rising in some countries and still falling in others. However, the number of hospital admissions and deaths remain low. Therefore, there are no social restrictions planned or on the horizon.
