Randall Mitchell, Minister of Tourism, Culture and the Arts.
Randall Mitchell, Minister of Tourism, Culture and the Arts, has requested a meeting with the Board and Management of all performance spaces under his Ministry.
The meeting request follows the Minister s concern over what he saw in videos from Sekon Sta s concert at Queen s Hall on Sunday night. The videos showed people dancing during the show.
A statement from the Ministry said Mitchell called the meeting to urgently revise the operations of these performance spaces in line with the letter, spirit and intent of the COVID-19 Regulations and Protocols.
According to the statement, Mitchell was advised that the event, Sekon Sunday, was recorded to be broadcast and invitations were issued to approximately 200 persons which is 30 percent, or well under the 50 percent capacity allowed by Queen’s Hall COVID-19 guidelines for the hosting of events at its venue.
