Covid: Paris test-concert, Roselyne Bachelot stands up for the organization

As concerts are at complete standstill since March 2020, many people are wondering when show venues will ultimately reopen. So far, no one knows, but hope has sparked thanks to test concerts. This experiment - called "Ambition Live Again" - has been given the green light from the authorities and will take place this May 29 at Paris Accor Arena. In an interview released this May 17, Minister of Culture Roselyne Bachelot stands up for the organization of this test concert in the French capital, explaining "Barcelona's is no longer valid".

After a first and successful test concert to assess Covid transmissibility during this type of event, a new and similar experiment has been carried out this March 27 in Barcelona, and also delivered encouraging results since "no sign" of contagion has been reported one month after this event. Good news for the cultural world expecting to welcome spectators again with necessary measures to keep everyone safe.
