The CDC relaxed their guidelines that say disinfecting in between movies isn t necessary, but many theaters are still continuing to do so.
Back in April, the CDC announced that there was only a 1 in 10,000 chance of catching COVID-19 by touching a surface. The new information allowed for CinemaSafe to update their guidelines that call for cleaning instead of disinfecting in between viewings.
According to Jeff Logan, CEO of Logan Luxury Theaters Corp. stated
We’ve got to maintain public confidence.”
Do you think this is a safe idea?!

Movie theaters are slowly reopening after being shut down due to the coronavirus, and everyone in the industry seems to be holding their breath, wondering when and if things will bounce back to normal. With the vaccine rollout continuing, there’s real hope that returning to the movies will be a safe experience. However, a recent change might give some folks pause. The National Association of Theatre Owners recently updated its CinemaSafe guidelines, telling exhibitors they no longer need to disinfect movie theaters between each screening. But don’t freak out just yet.
