Kojima Productions has temporary shut down after an employee tested positive for the Coronavirus, yet more chaos sewn by the disruptive disease that will likely continue to infect other companies.

The employee is described as a male in his forties who had not been to work since March 20th. The unnamed worker tested positive for the SARS 2 virus on the 30th.

It is believed that he only developed symptoms after the 20th; however, it is now well-known that victims of the virus can be infectious before they feel sick.

The office will be closed and disinfected, and employees will be allowed to work from home until it reopens. The shutdown has been deemed as voluntary rather than being enforced by authorities.

Kojima Productions said that the safety of its workers is its “highest priority”, and that they will work with the relevant authorities in order to stop the virus spreading.
