CES 2022 continues to lose major exhibitors as the omicron variant creates a spike in coronavirus infections. On Friday, Microsoft confirmed that it will no longer appear in person at the Las Vegas tech show, which starts Jan.5. Microsoft joins a growing list of companies switching to virtual-only appearances that already includes T-Mobile, Google, Intel, Lenovo, TikTok and Meta. «The health and well-being of our employees is our ultimate priority. After reviewing the latest data on the rapidly evolving COVID environment, Microsoft has decided not to participate in-person at CES 2022,» Microsoft said in a statement emailed late Friday. The company said it will join the show virtually. Despite the lengthening list of departing exhibitors, the Consumer Technology Association, which runs CES, said Thursday that additional exhibitors have signed up for physical space on the show floor.
