A larger scale event would present scientists with further data to analyse before the festival season kicks off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Benn <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iq-mag.net\/2021\/05\/festival-republic-planning-10000-cap-camping-pilot\/#.YKOPnZNudAc\">said:<\/a> \u201cThe camping event, because it&#8217;s three or four days, will actually be about testing the protocol of how to deal with anyone that might have Covid at the event. It\u2019s about testing the protocols around using Covid certification on the <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/nhs-prescribes-music\/\">NHS<\/a> app, and it\u2019s also around testing the protocols of what the SAGE scientists here in the UK want, which is at-home testing for all attendees that don\u2019t have the vaccination and that are not immune.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Benn also reasoned that the UK government consider public transport as more of a worry for spreading the virus than live events themselves. It\u2019s a fair thought \u2013 stringent safety measures will presumably be in place at venues, but movement of punters before and after the events is something far harder to keep under control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fate of festivals in the UK this summer are still very much up in the air \u2013 many organisers are <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/uk-festivals-insurance-worries\/\">waiting on confirmation of insurance cover<\/a> as reassurance that full-scale planning <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/festival-season-2021-cancelled\/\">can commence.<\/a> Whilst festivals like <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/glastonbury-music-festival-cancelled-for-second-year-running\/\">Glastonbury<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/boomtown-cancels\/\">Boomtown<\/a> have cancelled, events like the Reading and Leeds, Truck and Wireless festivals are <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/live-nation-sells-170000-tickets-for-2021-uk-summer-festivals-within-three-days\/\">due to go ahead<\/a> and have revealed their lineups.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The UK government\u2019s live events coronavirus research programme continues with a large three-day event with camping being organised, to assess how to deal with an outbreak at festivals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":85461,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[13,1048],"tags":[24372,24988,19983,92,21777,13355,26024,26026,21704,19984,26025,21779],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v18.4.1 -
