Vivo initially planned to launch its V19 smartphone in India on March 26 but the launch was later shifted to April 3. Now, the company officially announces in a statement that is delaying the launch of V19 and other new products in the country indefinitely amid the current COVID-19 situation. Further, it also announced plans to help the country fight the pandemic.
As per the statement given by Vivo, the company will be now focusing its time and resources towards coronavirus relief efforts in India. It also mentions that it will be soon donating surgical and N95 masks to doctors and healthcare workers in the country. Also, it says that it is already in touch with the government to determine the need for supplies and will try to help wherever it can. Additionally, the company also urges the people of India to stay indoors and follow social distancing as much as they can.
Vivo is not the only smartphone company to offer help in India due to coronavirus outbreak. Only yesterday, Xiaomi India announced its donation of lakhs of masks to state governments and hospitals across the country. Also, the company mentioned it will shut down its premises as per the orders issued by state / UT governments. On the other hand, Samsung, Oppo, LG, and even Vivo have also temporarily shut down their production sites in the country.
