In recent years, due to the impact of the epidemic, the company's shuttlecock kicking events were suspended for a time. This year, Panasonic Appliances Air-Conditioning and Refrigerantion celebrated its 30th anniversary, and the company's labor union responded to employee calls, deciding to restart the shuttlecock kicking event, using an exciting championship to celebrate the company's anniversary. Preparations such as making nets, painting the court, issuing notices, organizing registration, compiling schedules, and organizing the draw proceeded swiftly and efficiently; everything was ready, just waiting for the start.

On the morning of October 13th, the city's epidemic prevention and control headquarters notified Jinpu New District of new COVID-19 cases. In order to strictly prevent the epidemic, the company's labor union decisively and quickly decided to immediately suspend the event, postponing the remaining matches.
