Coronavirus: Ham radio event postponed in Iceland

As a result of coronavirus Iceland's IRA board has decided to postpone
the amateur radio flea market announced on the winter schedule to be
held on Sunday, March 8

The national amateur radio society IRA say:

The reason is, prevalent conditions due to the spread of coronary
virus causing CONVID-19 disease, in Iceland there have been a total of
35 cases.

The flea markets of the IRA have, in recent years, been the most
visited events in the organisation and there have often been over 50
people in Skeljanes. Clearly, when such a crowd meets in the hall,
there will be great congestion. Professionals were asked for an
opinion on this today and we are advised to postpone the event, if
possible.

It has therefore been decided to postpone the flea market of IRA 2020
until Sunday, May 3. As sorry as it is to postpone events, it is our
opinion that it is better to show precaution in this matter.
