The latest data shows there have been more than 3,200 deaths and 94,000 confirmed cases of the illness known as COVID-19 spanning 74 countries. More than 80,000 of the cases come from China, but the number of infected in other countries continues to grow, including 33 cases in Canada.
About 100 New Brunswick companies were expected to participate in the event, which attracts more than 19,000 buyers and suppliers, Wetmore said. "These are going to be minor setbacks for a period of time. But we haven't lost our markets and that's the key thing," he said.
