Omicron variant affected participation to CES 2022

The Omicron variant, which was discovered in South Africa and is said to be spreading faster than Delta, quickly affected CES 2022. With the record number of cases reached around the world, many technology giant companies announced that they will not physically attend the CES, which will take place in Las Vegas on January 5th to January 8th. While Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, Tik Tok, Waymo, AT & T, Pinterest, T-Mobile, Twitter, Google, and Lenovo announced that they will not physically attend the fair this year due to health concerns, Intel, the world's most valuable semiconductor chip manufacturer, announced they will attend the fair with minimal staff. Due to the pandemic, CES, held in Las Vegas, took place virtually in 2021. It was announced that this year, with the acceleration of vaccine studies developed against Covid-19, it will be done physically again. Although CES is held physically this year, it doesn't seem like it would be like before the pandemic. Companies that do not participate physically declare that they will present all their products, services, and services related to CES virtually from the official newsroom. On the other hand, TOGG, which is expected to go into mass production next year, is expected to be showcased worldwide at CES 2022.
