Twitch Con about-face now needs masks and more for 2022 in San Diego

Twitch has actually altered its mind about health arrangements at Twitch Con 2022 following over a week of continual public protest from both guests and oftentimes its own banners. New policies ask that guests both use masks in indoor areas and supply evidence of vaccination, or an unfavorable Covid -19 test, to go to.

The upgraded policy is, in part, as follows: “All attendees (including exhibitors, guests, staff, streamers, etc.) must verify that they are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 OR provide proof of a negative COVID-19 test to attend TwitchCon. Regardless of vaccination status, all attendees will also be required to wear approved face coverings to enter and remain at TwitchCon. We will also have hand sanitizer stations throughout the venue.” Twitch likewise defines that those who have actually currently bought tickets will have the ability to completely reimburse them through August 19th. You can check out those policies completely on the Twitchcon site. Masks will not be needed in outside areas.

The upgraded policies were published both to the Twitch Con blog site and to Twitch'’s social networks. They were instantly, naturally, fulfilled by reaction from both those mad that Twitch had actually gone back on its previous statement and those who oppose public health policies like vaccination and mask-wearing.

Twitch Con San Diego will be held October 7-9th, 2022, at the San Diego Convention Center.
