You're referring to the recent developments surrounding the OPEC (Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries) and non-OPEC meeting.
On March 6, 2020, OPEC announced that it would be reducing the number of delegates attending its meeting with non-OPEC countries, citing concerns over the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19). This decision was made in an effort to minimize the risk of transmission and ensure the health and safety of attendees.
Additionally, OPEC also restricted access to the meeting for journalists, allowing only a limited number of accredited media representatives to cover the event. This decision was reportedly made to prevent the spread of the virus and to maintain a safe and secure environment for attendees.
The OPEC and non-OPEC meeting, which took place on March 6, 2020, aimed to discuss the global oil market and potential measures to stabilize prices. The meeting was attended by representatives from OPEC member countries, as well as non-OPEC countries such as Russia, the United States, and others.
The decision to reduce the number of delegates and restrict journalist access was seen as a precautionary measure to mitigate the risk of transmission, given the rapid spread of the coronavirus globally.
