We are pleased individual venues will be able to choose their own policies on #facemasks. As the #EventsResearchProgramme data suggested, audiences are 1/100 as likely to inhale other's aerosols outdoors as indoors, so mandatory masks outdoors make would bring no benefit.
5/9 gov.uk/government/publicatio… good ventilation is key to modifying venues to reduce #COVID19 risks. Even large, seemingly airy buildings have pockets of stale, rebreathed air. Ensure there is a ventilation plan as per findings from #EventsResearchProgramme
3/9 gov.uk/government/publicatio… Rapid tracing of test positive ticket holders and their friends, asking them not to attend event, and automatic cancellation of tickets is important in outbreak control - #EventsResearchProgramme identified many practical areas for improvement
1/9 gov.uk/government/publicatio… no uncontrolled outbreaks from 10 events at same time as large outbreaks around other venues without extra control measures of #EventsResearchProgramme: more on that from #Liverpool papers later; public health × event team × audience partnership is key

How does one get to be a test event?!
I now know of two 'test events' taking place after the 19th July so what does this mean for events more widely. Will there still be restrictions for events post the terminus date?

And this is happening! If they have the data & it's positive enough to allow for 60,000 football fans then why not share that data with everyone? 🧐🤔

It’s been a huge challenge readying Wembley for the EUROS during lockdown, congratulations to everyone at @FA, @Brent_Council & @DCMS for getting to this point #EventsResearchProgramme
