Since the emergence of COVID-19 worldwide, many industries have been forced to redefine a large number of behavioral guidelines they had internalized. Among them, all those related to the organization and celebration of events.

Carrying out a physical event in the time of COVID has become nothing short of a mission impossible. However, there are still many reasons that can prevent online channels from being an option for certain celebrations. For this reason, at CabiRent we have selected different options that will help you prepare for your next physical event and make it a success despite the circumstances that surround us.

How many guests can attend a physical event?

The first element to which we must pay special attention is related to the capacity. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC for short) does not stipulate a specific quantity. It is the event organizers themselves who must find a way to limit contact between all the guests in a space.

The organizer of each event must determine the appropriate quantity according to the environment in which they find themselves. In addition, it is important to consult all the regulations related to this aspect according to the geographical area in which we find ourselves. Since for several months now, each Autonomous Community manages its own rules to deal with the effects of COVID-19.

In general, it is important to know that the more people with whom one interacts, and the less space there is between them, the greater the chances of contagion will be.

Is it mandatory to perform PCR tests on all attendees?

The CDC does not recommend testing all individuals attending the event and the staff before they arrive. The systematic performance of COVID-19 detection tests on all individuals attending and on staff members before allowing them to enter the event has not been studied.

Therefore, it is unknown whether detection tests upon arrival at events help reduce virus transmission compared to other tests that can help prevent infection.

Should all attendees wear masks?

Indeed, one of the most important rules is related to masks. In order for your event to take place safely, it is essential that all attendees who come to an event wear masks throughout its entire duration.

It is worth knowing that masks are even more important in those spaces where the minimum safety distance cannot be guaranteed.

As can be seen, and despite the existing limitations, it is still possible to carry out physical events. In order to achieve success, it is essential to follow a series of tips that will help you minimize the chances of contagion.
