Burberry
Burberry was scheduled to have a show in Shanghai on April 23, but it has since been postponed.
As Business Insider previously reported, in January, when the coronavirus was still spreading throughout China, Burberry predicted that COVID-19 would have a worse impact on its bottom line than the Hong Kong protests, which cut sales in half in its last fiscal quarter.
