PAX West 2021 to implement vaccination or negative COVID-19 test requirement

According to a recent post, the PAX West 2021 event organizers have decided to implement a vaccination or negative COVID-19 test requirement.

The decision announced last night was made to comply with recommendations from state and local public health authorities.

All attendees at PAX West will need to show proof of completed COVID-19 vaccinations, or obtain a negative COVID-19 test result before entering. Each person will also be required to have a government-issued ID.

Prior to the recent announcement, organizers had already advice attendees that guidelines could change.

“While we let the community know the health and safety guidelines could evolve, we wanted to get it right and we feel confident that verification of fully vaccination or negative test, along with continued face covering requirements for everyone, will create an environment that promotes the wellbeing of our PAX community,” says the post written by Kyle Marsden-Kish, Global Gaming Event Director at Reed Exhibitions US.

The event will take place in Seattle, WA, from September 3-6, 2021.
