Since the outbreak 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.

Holding a physical event during COVID has become nothing short of a mission impossible. However, there are still many reasons that may 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 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 among all guests in a space.

The organizer of each event must determine the appropriate amount according to the environment in which they are located. In addition, it is important to consult all regulations related to this aspect according to the geographical area in which we find ourselves. Since for a few 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.

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 for all individuals attending and for 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. For your event to take place under safe conditions, it is essential that all attendees wear masks throughout the entire duration of the event.

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 minimize the chances of contagion.
