It's almost fall, and let's face it, the Corona pandemic ain't goin' nowhere soon. So, if our feds and states want their event industry to survive, they gotta come up with some clear-cut plans for dealing with this mess.
Take a Poll, Will Ya?
The Event Industry Forum has cooked up a survey in anticipation of discussing matters with federal and state reps, and they'd love for you, event industry peeps, to chip in. Take the short survey before August 23, 2022; just a few minutes, and you'll be doin' your part for the event industry.
Uniformity and Certainty
It's not just the organizers who need clarity, but also the attendees and state officials. That's why it's essential we get rid of capacity restrictions for events—anything less, and we're lookin' at a whole lotta mass concert cancellations, pushin' the event industry even further down.
Simple and uniform regulations that event organizers can count on? Hell, yes. Plus, let's keep the public on board by communicating these rules clearly.
Corona Tests and the Event Biz
Corona tests are still a crucial tool in fightin' the pandemic, especially in the event industry. If a test is necessary for visitin' an event, it should be offered FREE of charge to the attendees. And hey, if "high-quality" antigen tests can be allowed to exclude capacity-limiting measures, even better.
Setting Parameters
The Event Industry Forum is callin' for the inclusion of the Expert Council's recommendation in regulations:
"Focus on developing and applying uniform, clear, and strict infection protection standards, with gradual adaptations based on hospital and KRITIS loads."
In other words, protect the high-risk groups, lessen the strain on the healthcare system, and KRITIS. The 7-day incidence shouldn't be the main concern anymore. Only when a new, more dangerous variant causes healthcare system overload, additional restrictions or bans on public events might go into effect—with relief programs to cover downtime and prep costs.
There ya have it. The latest on corona tests and regulations in Germany's event industry. Stay safe, keep eventin', and remember: just do what's necessary to keep those concert tickets flowin'.
Event technology could play a significant role in implementing the uniform regulations desired by event organizers, as it can facilitate the development and application of clear, strict infection protection standards. Furthermore, the integration of science, such as advancements in rapid antigen testing, could help ensure health-and-wellness measures within events, contributing to a safer lifestyle for all attendees.
