UPDATE 19th March 2020: GAME has sent an email to customers warning stores may close amid the coronavirus – but for now the company is keeping them open.
The email revolves around GAME’s in-store work to follow government guidelines on preventative measures and deep cleaning. The company said hand sanitiser is provided in all stores and all products and surfaces are being cleaned regularly with anti-bacterial wipes and disinfectant cleaner.
However, GAME said it may have to vary store opening times or in some cases close stores due to staff availability or further direction from the government.
Meanwhile, GAME’s warehouses remain open. “We continue to be committed to getting your deliveries to you,” GAME said.
As for the Belong Gaming Arenas, GAME said it’s keeping those open, too, but it’s employing deep cleaning measures, such as cleaning each gaming station following each customer’s session. It’s also leaving empty desks between players and groups of players.
