Spectators cooled by the health protocol? On May 29, an Indochina test concert is planned at the AccorHotels Arena in Paris, an unprecedented experience in France to allow a gradual resumption of major cultural events at the start of the school year. For this, the organizers of this event, the Assistance publique-Hôpitaux de Paris (AP-HP) and the National Union of Musical and Variety Show (Prodiss), need 7,500 people: 5,000 who will attend the concert, 2,500 who will attend the concert. will attend and will be analyzed in comparison.
But as the site of Francetvinfo, 5,000 volunteers are still lacking to reach the target number of 20,000. “We do have the number today, but we must be beyond the number because then there is the whole process of entering into the scientific protocol with precise inclusion criteria defined by the AP-HP and then a lottery system, ”explained Malika Séguineau, Executive Director of Prodiss.
A fairly restrictive protocol
It must be said that the conditions to participate in this test concert are quite restrictive. To try your luck, you must register on the site ambitionliveagain.org, with a view to a draw. To qualify for selection, you must live in Ile-de-France, be between 18 and 45 years old, have no symptoms of Covid-19 and not have been in contact with a person who tested positive in the last two weeks.
The 5,000 selected will then have to go within three days before the concert to the AccorHotels Arena in order to carry out a first rapid antigen test. On D-day, they will have to bring their negative results to access the room, and will be subjected to a second test, saliva this time. Finally, a week later, the 7,500 participants in the experiment will have to perform a self-sampling saliva, and send it by mail in an envelope that will be provided to them beforehand. Too strict a protocol, even when you are a huge fan of Indochina?
