Mobile subscriptions fell by more than 8 million over January and February, data on the company’s website show. China Telecom Corp. has said it lost 5.6 million users last month, while China Unicom Hong Kong Ltd. subscribers fell by 1.2 million in January.
The drop could be caused by migrant workers -- who often have one subscription for where they work and another for their home region -- canceling their work-region account after the virus prevented them from returning to work after the Lunar New Year holidays that began in late January.
