Covid-19 Update šŸ˜·

If you haveĀ concerns aboutĀ catching Covid-19, you are not alone. As of January 15, 2022, cases are once again surging, especially with respect to the omicron strain.

We take the safety of all our customers seriously andĀ encourage all our customers to take sensible precautions to protect themselves and others during the coronavirus epidemic. Like you, we look forward to getting through this crisis safely, quickly, and together, so we canĀ restoreĀ normalcy.

Mikes Game Shop is not qualified to offer medical advice, so you should consult a medical professional, such as your physician, to have your questions answered.

Nothing in life is absolute but,Ā from what weā€™ve read from the CDC and as reported by reliable sources that have quoted medical doctors and experts,Ā shopping online is safe from the perspective of viral transmission due to the following reasons:

  1. AĀ large viral loadĀ is neededĀ to cause infection
  2. Virus particles quickly degrade outside a living host
  3. PackagesĀ take days to ship

The CDC describesĀ shippedĀ packages asĀ ā€œvery low riskā€. According to our research, the highest risk of infection occurs within the first few minutes of a virus beingĀ ejected from an infected person, such as by sneeze or cough, and the risk decreases as a function of time.

If you would like to take additional safety steps, you may considerĀ wearing gloves toĀ receive your shipped packages and wearing a maskĀ whenĀ in the presence of your delivery person.

Mikes Game Shop takes these additional steps to promoteĀ safety:

  1. All our products are cleaned and sanitized when first admitted to inventory
  2. No member of our team is permitted to touch or come into close contact with any of our products if theyĀ are experiencing anyĀ cold or flu-like symptoms
  3. All members of our teamĀ have been fully vaccinated

Stay safe out there. If thereā€™s anything else you feelĀ we should be doing, please let us knowĀ at covid19@mikesgameshop.com.
