Cinemas and theatres can return to 100 per cent capacity when the latest easing of COVID-19 restrictions comes into effect next week. From 9am April 14, cinemas and indoor performance venues with forward-facing, tiered seating can return to full capacity. Events must be ticketed and seated, and venues must have an approved COVID safety plan. If they do not, they must remain at 75 per cent capacity. ACT Health said venues that held more than one event on at a time must have staggered start and finish times, to avoid crowds gathering. ACT Health said updated advice would also be given to live music venues on how to host events and apply for an exemption for big crowds. “With these latest changes to public health restrictions, attendance density at these venues will be the largest since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic,” ACT Health said in a statement. “A number of factors help to reduce the risks associated with holding larger gatherings at these venues, including the fact that events must be ticketed and seated, venues have front-facing tiered seating for a single audience, mandatory check-in using the Check In CBR app for contact tracing requirements, and endorsed COVID Safety Plans in place.” IN OTHER NEWS: More to come.
