Hundreds back on dancefloor as part of Amsterdam's bubble' partying experiment
- 3 years ago
Some 1,300 concert-goers danced in Amsterdam's first live music event since the coronavirus pandemic outbreak as part of an experiment to research how festivals could be corona-proof.
People wore devices that tracked their movements to study how the coronavirus might spread during a concert in case of infections.
They were also divided into six different 'bubbles,' each with its entrances, spaces, and toilets.
Some participants were allowed to dance freely, while others were asked to only move in certain designated areas.
All concert-goers had to present a negative COVID test 48 hours before the event and will have to get tested next week.
The event was organised by FieldLabs, a company supported by the Dutch Government that has done similar research in football stadiums and congress.
