Follow Up Questions
Question: The vast majority of the events that we host are free, community events. What ideas are people having regarding free events if we need to limit our attendance when we reopen the country?
Answer: “I think free events will be held to the same standards as paid when it comes to the CDC and other authorities. I’m most certain there will be a cap on attendance for events as things start to open up and there will probably be more requirements on things such as hand sanitizer stations and there may even be face mask recommendations. My thoughts are that for awhile even free events may have to manage capacity issues just like paid ones.” – Teresa Stas
