About four thousand people will take part in the “coronavirus experiment” at the concerts of the German artist Tim Bendzko at the indoor stadium in Leipzig on August 22. Scientists are preparing to provide all participants of the concert special “devices for contact tracing”, which will hang on the neck of the audience and every 5 seconds to send a signal about their movements and how close they are from other people.

All participants will be asked to sanitize my hands fluorescent sanitizer for scientists to be able after the concert to determine on what surfaces the transmission of the virus was most likely, writes The Guardian. To do this, they plan to use ultraviolet radiation.

Experts also expect to visualize the spread of the disease with the help of smoke machines and aerosols. Possible scheme they try to predict based on computer-generated models. Thus, scientists will try to understand whether the resumption of major cultural and sporting events scheduled for the autumn. The results of the experiment they hope to submit in early October.

Performances will be held under the supervision of scientists from the University Martin Luther Halle-Wittenberg. In the framework of a research project Restart-19 from the budget of the länder Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt allocated 990 thousand euros. To participate in the study, experts gather 4000 volunteers.

To concerts do not become sources of new outbreaks of coronavirus, registered volunteers will receive a kit for self-testing and will be tested in the doctor’s office or in the laboratory for 48 hours prior to the concert. Those who are not able to present negative data test for the coronavirus, will be denied entry. In speeches, the volunteers will wear masks.

In the Leipzig concert hall will be played three scenarios concerts. In the first, the spectators will attend the concert, passing through the two main entrances before you take your seats. In the second, “optimized” scenario, the crowd will pass through the eight inputs to facilitate mixing, and half of the seats in the stands will not be available. In the third variant, the concert will be only two thousands of spectators who will be required to adhere strictly to social distance.

Pandemic coronavirus has dealt a serious blow to the entertainment industry: tours and concerts around the world cancelled or postponed to a later date, also indefinitely stopped shooting new movies and TV series, and the terms of issue in the car already finished paintings are regularly moved. In Russia the alternative to the full concerts become “road” concerts, where car owners can come to the concert hall and listen to a live performance radio from the comfort of the machine: these concerts already given, in particular, of “spleen” and “the time Machine”.
