The decision was made after consultation with the Ministry of Health and stakeholders, Central Economic Development Agency chief executive Linda Stewart said.
“Ceda has been working around the clock to review the rapidly changing scene, considering the guidelines and advice from the Ministry of Health and our district health board.
“With attendees coming from across New Zealand and the globe the decision to postpone the week was made to protect the wellbeing of all involved and our communities.”
The situation is rapidly evolving and to minimise the pandemic’s spread and to prevent unnecessary strain on health systems Ceda decided postponement is the best course.
