Organisers of the Beijing Auto Show 2022 have announced that the motor show, which was earlier scheduled to be held in late April 2022, has been postponed until further notice. The decision has been taken seeing the resurgence of COVID-19 cases across China. As of April 2022, the number of daily COVID-19 cases in the country has crossed 28,000. While earlier, towards the end of March 2022, the organisers had even hinted at the possibility of postponing the show, due to COVID-19.
