Guests attend Tracy Lawrence’s ‘Concerts in Your Car’s’ drive-In concert at Ventura County Fairgrounds and Event Center on August 21, 2020, in Ventura, California. Due to ongoing coronavirus social distance restrictions, drive-in concerts have become a popular way for fans to experience live music.
All the participants will wear masks meeting the high-protection FFP2 standard, as well as an electronic device allowing tracking of their movements within the space. And the scientists will even track the trajectories of tiny aerosol particles breathed out by attendees, believed by experts to play a role in infections.
Data collected on Saturday will flow into a mathematical model to help judge risks of the virus spreading in a large concert venue, with results expected in the autumn.
