The spread of the virus is also affecting the mining operations in the country as hardware providers announce delays in completing their deliveries.

MicroBT, Innosilicon and Bitmain all announced delays in the past week of the application specific integrated circuits (ASICs). After the decision was passed by the Guangdong provincial government to extend the Chinese New Year holiday to Feb.9, due to the virus, MicroBT announced they will be delaying their orders citing transportation issues. The notice from the mining equipment manufacturer read,

“The production, delivery, after-sales service, and send and receive documents and other arrangements” would be delayed as a result.”
