Study shows low risk of Covid-infection on concerts with safety guidelines

With mask-wearing, seating, proper ventilation, reduced capacity, and hygiene protocols, the risk of the virus spreading through indoor concerts is "low to very low", a study by a group of German scientists has shown. They have put on a concert in August to see how COVID-19 spreads at shows and found that "the risk of getting infected is very low", New York Times reports. "There is no argument for not having such a concert" - dr. Michael Gekle, one of the scientists at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg who did the study, said.
