On the bill Laurent Garnier, Pedro Winter, Etienne de Crécy, Chloé or even Kiddy Smile, in short, only beautiful people, for an evening… like no other. The @ ReviensLaNuit account has
announced on Twitter on June 23 that one
experimentation will take place on Saturday evening in two Parisian nightclubs, with 2,000 people vaccinated but without a mask, to assess the risk of transmission of Covid-19.
The ANRS and the AP-HP are organizing a unique test evening to assess the transmission of # Covid19 in a club. COME BACK AT NIGHT: 06/26 at La Machine du Moulin Rouge and Cabaret Sauvage w / Laurent Garnier / Pedro Winter / Kiddy Smile … https://t.co/ThbYD364Mb #ReviensLaNuit pic.twitter.com/fgM0oRvuqz

This scientific study, the results of which are expected at the end of July, comes two weeks before the discotheques reopen on July 9. It will therefore have no impact on the measures already announced (vaccination or negative test, level of 75% of the public, wearing a mask not compulsory but recommended).
Four thousand four hundred volunteers
The party will take place on Saturday evening from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m., at the Cabaret sauvage (19th arrondissement) and at the Machine du Moulin Rouge (17th). “This project aims to assess the risk of transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in vaccinated people participating in a full-gauge clubbing party, without a mask and in a closed place,” said the ANRS / Emerging Infectious Diseases health agency, which manages the project with the AP-HP (Public Assistance – Hospitals of Paris).
A total of 4,400 Ile-de-France volunteers aged 18 to 49 must be recruited by Saturday. They must be fully vaccinated (two doses or just one for those who have already had the Covid, all for at least 14 days) and have no comorbidities that expose them to a risk of serious form.
Draw
Among these volunteers, 2,200 will participate in the two evenings, and the other 2,200 will not, by drawing lots. This will make it possible to compare the two situations to know if the fact of having been to the parties increases the risk of contamination.
For this, the volunteers will have to do a PCR test (by saliva sample) in the three days before the evening, then a second one seven days after. Entry into nightclubs will not be conditional on the result of the test, even if it is positive despite vaccination.
Indeed, the objective is to obtain “information on transmission in vaccinated people”, explained the infectious disease specialist Jérémy Zeggagh, coordinator of the project, during a videoconference. Registration is possible on the site revienslanuit.org. In the same vein, an Indochina test concert was organized on May 29 in Bercy, but this time with 5,000 spectators tested negative and masked. The results of this experiment are expected in early July.
