E3 2020 in doubt as LA declares state of emergency over coronavirus

E3 2020 has not been ruled out despite Los Angeles declaring a state of emergency over the spread of the COVID-19 novel coronavirus.

“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,” E3 organiser, The Entertainment Software Association, said in a statement (via GamesIndustry).

“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.”

The ESA stressed that it “will continue to evaluate new developments and provide updates, as needed.”

E3 2020 is scheduled for 9-11 June. We’ll keep you informed as we learn more.
