On 26th April, Brussels venueÂ
Koninklijke Vlaamse Schouwburg (KVS), hosted one of the first test events in Belgium since the COVID-19 pandemic began.
The Belgian government decided to turn a performance of ‘
Jonathan’ into a test event at the esteemed theatre venue this week, with the purpose of measuring how the air quality in the room was impacted by the presence of an audience. Only 50 people attended this specific event, alongside KVS employees who were present and working; each had to undergo a rapid test before wearing a mask at all times inside the room that usually seats 500 people. Furthermore, they will be required to take a PCR test the following week. From the 28th, they will look to increase the number of attendees week on week to assess conditions with more people in the venue, maxing out at 250 (50% capacity) in a couple of weeks time.
