MANILA -- DataBlitz is the latest company to announce closures in Luzon amid the lockdown on the main island to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus in the Philippines.
On Wednesday, the local gaming store chain said all of its branches in Luzon will be closed until further notice.
Shops in Visayas and Mindanao remain open, except for Cagayan de Oro.
"Our thanks to everyone for your patience and kind understanding as we look forward to being of service to you again soon! Please to take care and keep safe!" it said in a Facebook post.

DataBlitz assured gaming enthusiasts that they can still place their orders via PIxelPlay on Lazada and Shopee.
Those who preordered the game "Animal Crossing," which will be released this Friday, are given two options: pick it up when the community quarantine is lifted and get a P500 gift certificate from DataBlitz for subsequent purchases; or cancel their purchase when the branch where they preordered reopens and get a refund.
