E3 still planned despite declaration of state of emergency in LA County due to coronavirus

Even after the State of California and both Los Angeles and Orange County declared their state of emergency due to coronavirus concerns, the Entertainment Software Association said E3 is still planned though it will continue to monitor the situation.

“The health and safety of our attendees, exhibitors, partners, and staff is our top priority. While the ESA continues to plan for a safe and successful E3 show June 9-11, 2020—we are monitoring and evaluating the situation daily,” says their latest COVID-19 Update released today

“Our E3 team and partners continue to monitor COVID-19 via the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO). We are actively assessing the latest information and will continue to develop measures to further reduce health risks at the show.”

Though E3 2020 is still three months away, many events that were planned from February until April have since been cancelled or postponed, including the 2020 Game Developers Conference, F8, Mobile World Congress, EmTech Asia, Google’s I/O 2020 and others.
