WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. weapons maker Lockheed Martin Corp (NYSE:) said on Friday it will not participate in next week’s Singapore Airshow over coronavirus concerns.

“Following the Singapore Ministry of Health’s Feb. 7 declaration of a Code Orange health alert, we consulted with the U.S. government and our medical teams and decided not to participate in the Singapore Airshow,” the company said in a statement.
