Barcelona will launch a new clinical trial on March 27. It will do it at the Palau Sant Jordi in Barcelona, welcoming 5,000 people for a concert of the Love Of Lesbian group without safety distance. An act in which, despite not having anti-COVID measures, all attendees will be forced to pass a series of preliminary checks, as an antigen test or taking the temperature before entering the room.
This was announced this Friday by the directors of different festivals such as Primavera Sound -with its 2021 edition already canceled-, Sonar, Cruïlla, Canet Rock or Vida, during an event at the Estadi Olímpic de Barcelona. There were also present the highest representatives of Health and Culture of the Generalitat and the mayor of the city, Ada Colau, supporting the safe culture on which so much has been insisted these months ago.
The concert last December: almost 500 attendees and no contagion
This new essay comes after the great results obtained with a concert of almost 500 people in the Sala Apolo. It took place last December and, as reported by Dr. Josep Maria Llibre, from the Germans Trias Hospital, the trial ended without contagion among its 463 attendees. The best result that could have been given and to the surprise of those who studied the case.
As detailed in the published statement on the website of the Festivals for Safety Culture, This clinical trial as a “pilot concert” at the Palau Sant Jordi will be carried out with a “subsequent control crossing data from attendees with the public health system”.
