"From there it passed to me, I talked to the theater director and tried to think what could be done other than canceling the show. After all, "the show must go on," and important guests are expected to come on Saturday night. I initially thought about an option to talk to the Ministry of Health and bring in some doctor to confirm that she was fine. But you can't know how long it's been fishing. Another option came up - that she would go on stage with a mask. But we were worried that then the 90 people in the audience would just get up and panic.

We were hoping we might wake up in the morning and find out that the Department of Health has taken gear from this extreme step, but for now it has not happened. "
