A good number of airsoft companies and shops remain open for business as the Covid-19 pandemic rages on. Manufacturers continue production to meet orders and retailers are still taking orders from customers. But some questions from customers is if these companies have put some safeguards in place to protect their employees since just one employee getting infected will shutdown operations as they need to disinfect the workplace.
One of the biggest airsoft events in the world, Border War Milsim, announced last week that they have postponed the event to 11-13 September as the Czech government have been limiting gatherings due to Covid-19 fears as the Czech Republic/Czechia is experiencing a rise of infected cases. It is originally to be held on 15-19 April 2020, which many expect to be the height of the Covid-19 in many areas in Europe.
Here is the statement of the organisers:
With Europe now being the new centre of the Covid-19 pandemic, governments are implementing measures to mitigate the spread of virus and are getting even more drastic such as cancelling large gatherings and public events. In terms of airsoft, we have not heard of any large-scale airsoft event being called off by their organisers, until now --- Berget Events announced that they are cancelling Berget 18: Broken Arrow.
The Electronic Entertainment Expo, which we just call E3 nowadays, have been cancelled by the organisers as cases of Covid-19 in the U.S. increase and the Federal government scrambling to mitigate the spread as their Orange leader messed up in their response, and have now declared a national emergency. We have been looking forward to the announcements of the big name companies on their upcoming releases for the gaming industry.
