There has been “no sign” of coronavirus infection among 5,000 unvaccinated people who took part in an indoor trial concert last month in Barcelona seeking pandemic-safe ways to celebrate mass events, organisers said Tuesday.
The participants underwent PCR tests two weeks after the March 27 event and “there is no sign that suggests transmission took place during the event,” Josep Maria Llibre, a specialist in infectious diseases from the Germans Trias i Pujol hospital told a news conference.
Music fans in Barcelona hugged, danced and sang along at a sold-out rock concert last month after taking rapid COVID-19 tests in a trial that could revive the live music industry in Spain and beyond.
Some 5,000 fans at the show had to wear masks but social distancing was not required in the Palau Sant Jordi arena.
