Germany Conducts Indoor Concert To Study Spread Of COVID-19

Scientists in Germany held three indoor pop concerts with 1500 participants to investigate the spread of COVID-19 in the country. 

The first concert aimed to imitate an event before the pandemic and did not follow safety precautions. The second involved greater hygiene and some social distancing, while the third involved half the numbers and each person standing 1.5m apart.

The concert study, called Restart-19, was created "to investigate the conditions under which such events can be carried out despite the pandemic", researchers said.
