Karamchand Rameshwar - Mar 26, 2020

Vivo V19 India launch is officially announced to be delayed indefinitely due to the India lockdown, which will last for at least three weeks.

Vivo V19 was expected to be released in India today, but the launch has been postponed because of the India lockdown. The brand has released an official statement, confirming that it will not launch any new product. Previously, the Vivo V19 India launch was set to take place on 26th March and was later moved to 3rd April. Now, it is indefinitely delayed until further notice. In case you don’t know, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has just ordered an India lockdown for 1.3 billion people in the country, warning that it might leave a massive consequence if the company couldn’t deal with the coronavirus pandemic in the next three weeks.

Vivo also said that it is going to focus its effort and time to help the government deal with the Covid-19 outbreak. It is currently buying and donating N95 and surgical masks for healthcare works and doctors fighting the virus. Xiaomi also announces a similar plan of donating lakhs of marks to hospitals and government across the country.
