The North American International Auto Show is the latest victim of the coronavirus as multiple publications are reporting the event has been cancelled due to the growing pandemic.

While the show hasn’t confirmed the cancellation, both Ford and GM have acknowledged the news.

Ford’s chief communications officer Mark Truby told The Detroit News, “We fully support NAIAS organizers in their postponement.” He added, the “health and safety of our community … is our top priority” and “we look forward to seeing the show’s return in 2021.”

Instead of hosting shiny new automobiles, the TCF Center will be transformed into makeshift hospital to treat people with COVID-19. In a Facebook post, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Detroit District confirmed the Michigan National Guard as well as state and federal agencies visited the TCF Center earlier today to plan how to convert the massive complex into an “alternate care facility” for patients.

The move has been rumored for a few days and it comes as a number of hospitals in southeast Michigan are nearing maximum capacity. The mitten state has been hard hit by the coronavirus as it has 4,650 cases and 111 deaths as of earlier today. Those numbers continue to grow with alarming regularity and it’s one of the reasons President Trump declared the state a major disaster area on Saturday.

The North American International Auto Show was scheduled to take place in June and this year’s event would have been the first time it was held in the summer.  The Volkswagen ID.4 was slated to be unveiled at the event and GM’s executive director of communications operations and corporate giving, Terry Rhadigan, told The Detroit News “We were definitely going to unveil new models” at NAIAS.

Of course, the cancellation comes after the Geneva Motor Show was called off at the last minute.  The coronavirus crisis has also postponed the Beijing and New York auto shows as well as the Goodwood Festival of Speed.

Update: It’s finally official as organizers said they will cancel this year’s show “in light of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic sweeping across the world and the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s expected plans to repurpose TCF Center into a temporary field hospital.”

Tickets will be refunded and the next North American International Auto Show is now scheduled to kick off in June, 2021.
