Razer Starts Production of Masks to Help the World Confront the Corona Outbreak

It is undeniable that the Corona (COVID-19) outbreak, which is becoming the world’s attention, has disrupted various daily activities. However, this epidemic seems to have benefited the video game industry, because many people who are isolating themselves choose video games as their main entertainment.

In a situation like this, Razer, as a company that provides gaming furniture, has also contributed to helping the world deal with the Corona outbreak, namely by producing masks.

Razer CEO Min-Liang Tan via his Twitter explained that Razer has shifted the series of production processes of their gaming products to the production of masks in the last few days. Not only that, he also explained that the masks they made would be donated to countries in need, starting from Singapore.

We intend to donate up to 1M masks to the health authorities of different countries globally. For starters, we’ve been in touch with the authorities in Singapore (where the @Razer SEA HQ is based) to donate some of the initial shipments to assist their fight against COVID-19.

When asked whether this mask product will be predominantly black like other Razer products, the CEO answer that for now they only produce these masks with the required quality of health standards. But he also stated that in the future, maybe the design could change to show the characteristics of gaming, such as being equipped with twinkling lights for example.

The Corona outbreak itself has also entered Indonesia, with a total of 309 confirmed cases at the time of writing this, 25 died and 15 recovered (via Tirto). The author of course advises you to stay at home and play video games, and avoid activities outside, especially crowds. If you cannot work at home, always use a mask and gloves when traveling, and wash your hands with soap or hand sanitizer every time you enter the building or return home. Stay safe bro!
