Empty theaters, concert halls, stadiums: cultural and sports facilities demand a return to operations with spectators.

This concept should help.

Berlin - With a modular concept, science, sport and culture want to attract more viewers to their venues - right up to full occupancy.

“We want to show politicians a way to go back,” said the Berlin health economist Florian Kainzinger on Monday in Berlin during the presentation of the concept, supported by over 40 sports and cultural institutions, in which 20 scientists from different disciplines contributed.

Those involved did not want to name a specific point in time.

It is about a synopsis of different criteria, "the central question is the burden on the health system," said Kainzinger.

“We can't shut everything off until the last person has been vaccinated *.” From the point of view of Georg-Christian Zinn, specialist in hygiene and environmental medicine in Ingelheim, the concept should “give as many spectators as possible the opportunity to take part in the events”.

As a representative of the theater, Klaus Dörr, director of the Volksbühne Berlin, said: "We can start every day."

Lockdown end?

Sport and Culture Concept - How can viewers come back?

The guide initially provides a basic concept for the return of viewers.

In closed spaces such as concert halls, theaters, operas, halls or arenas, a hygiene, ventilation and infection protection concept should be necessary.

Concepts for entry and exit as well as arrival and departure are also required.

This will make a cast between 25 and 30 percent possible.

In the outdoor area, with comparable standards, a utilization of up to 40 percent is considered possible.

Special concepts serve to increase the utilization, whereby a hygiene concept with high standards is intended to prevent "wild growth".

A maximum model requires, for example, digital contact management and antigen tests * before each event.

With such measures, according to the concept, “full utilization of operas, concerts and sporting events” is possible.

The supporters include experts from the fields of infectious diseases and virology, ventilation technology, health economics, and sports, cultural and legal sciences.

The German Football Association, the handball association, the volley band association and the basketball association with their respective league associations as well as the stage association with numerous individual theaters also signed.

There are some halls and arenas from the event area.

Governments are currently discussing what further opening scenarios could look like.

Merkel has presented an internal plan for this.
