Several companies are avoiding China due to Coronavirus
The Coronavirus outbreak is being a pandemic, where the symptoms look like pneumonia.

The rapid transmission to several territories in the world has caused the technology industry to be affected, since most companies have factories in China.
Several companies even closed their factories, stores and offices in the Asian country, in addition to creating rules to restrict travel.
