TORONTO -- As concerts and live theatre begin to return, a new study says that safety measures such as time limits, social distancing and putting a mask over wind instruments can go a long way in reducing airborne transmission of COVID-19 during performances.and led by researchers from the University of Colorado Boulder and University of Maryland. The authors investigated the flow of aerosols during musical and theatre performances.
Masks were one of several measures that were found to be effective at reducing the presence of aerosols, even for wind instruments. Playing a wind instrument without any protection led to an average peak aerosol content of 1.0 particles per cubic centimetre. But with a bell mask, aerosol content dropped to just 0.36 per cubic centimetre.
Distance matters as well, researchers say. Individuals who are located the closest to performers have the highest risk of transmission. But performance time was found to be an even more significant factor.
Haha😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Can’t they just sit down? Works in restaurants.

This is really getting absurd. If it's so dangerous, then cancel the public gatherings. If it's not so dangerous, then carry on with normal life. I am not commenting about whether it is or is not dangerous, but just how wacky a lot of these measures are.
