“A multi-stage health check on guest from China has been called for, the implementation of which would be extremely challenging for Messe Frankfurt.

“Additionally, more and more travel restrictions are being put into place thus making it difficult for both visitors and exhibitors to attend the fair.

“Therefore, the organisers have decided to postpone Light+Building.”

The show organiser stated the decision was supported by its partners Light+Building, the Eletrical Installation Systems and the Light Working Groups of the Central Association of the German Eletricial and Electronic Engineering Industry (ZVEI) and the Central Association of German Electricians (ZVEH). And it stated the Italian associations also backed the decision.
