The coronavirus (COVID-19) is showing little intent to slow down, and companies far and wide are responding in kind by cancelling or postponing events. The Forza Monthly livestream is the latest to succumb, and will not be taking place this month. Forza cited concerns with the safety of guest stars that planned to appear on the show travelling to Seattle, where the coronavirus has been wreaking havoc. While live streams and online-only events have typically continued like normal, in this situation its understandable that Forza is wanting to approach this carefully.
As the health concerns continue to evolve globally, our priority is to ensure that everyone’s well-being and safety comes first. Therefore, we have made the decision to cancel Monday’s Forza Monthly as we had guests traveling to Seattle to appear on the show.As the health concerns continue to evolve globally, our priority is to ensure that everyone’s well-being and safety comes first.

The news comes after other Seattle-based companies like Microsoft havealready made moves to protect their employees from the virus.Bungie, the developer of popular games like Destiny 2, has alsodone the same thing.It’s clear that companies are taking zero risks when it comes to the safety of their employees, especially sincetwo Microsoft employees were recently diagnosed with the coronavirus.
It’s still too early to tell if next month’s Forza Monthly stream will take place, but for now we’ll just have to be a little more patient for our Forza news. Safety comes first.
