Only 15 people out of 60,000 who participated in mass rallies, without wearing a mask or keeping their distance in Britain, as part of a pilot test, they tested positive for the new coronavirus, the Ministry of Health announced today.
In order to once again give permission for concerts and other events this summer, the Boris Johnson government has allowed nine large, test rallies this month, with no measures for Covid-19. Among them were three football matches at Wembley (21,000 spectators), the Brit Awards ceremony at the O2 Arena (4,000 spectators), the Snooker World Cup final and various events in Liverpool, such as a rave party with 3,000 people in attendance.
All spectators and participants had to be tested for Covid-19 24 hours before the event and tested negative. After the event, they underwent PCR testing and only 15 of the 60,000 tested positive.
This result corresponds to the rate of infection in the total population, which is currently 22 per 100,000.
Britain, the country with the highest number of Covid-19 deaths in Europe, has seen its health improve dramatically following a severe winter lockdown and a rapid vaccination campaign. In England, there are signs of a possible increase in infections recently, according to the National Statistics Office (ONS).
From Monday, cultural venues and stadiums are allowed to accommodate up to 1,000 spectators indoors and up to 4,000 in the open, but always if sanitary measures are observed.
