Ratch expresses outrage: the organizers, not wanting to sort the audience, cancel the event

Despite the fact that the government has introduced incentives in the cultural sector for people with a Covid-19 certificate, according to Rach, the measures are currently being canceled due to the organizers because they do not want to segregate the audience.

“That’s what happened! 60th canceled event in the last eight months. Anniversary! This time all because the organizers, not wanting to sort the audience, decided to go the easiest way. I anticipate ten more canceled in July and August. Exit? supermarkets, “writes the artist on Twitter.

It has happened now! 60th event canceled in the last 8 months! Anniversary! This time it was all because the organizers, not wanting to sort the audience, decided to go the easiest way. I anticipate 10 more such “cancel” in July and August. Exit? Stages should be renamed terraces or supermarkets. pic.twitter.com/Stqp4cLCYn

True, Rach does not call anyone by name, without disclosing which event is being discussed.

We remind you that in the first half of June several pilot projects in culture took place. It was concluded that they had succeeded, so it was decided to allow the organizers of the events to organize two types of cultural events from 15 June.

The first is a security measure, which can only be attended by people who have been vaccinated or have contracted Covid-19. They will be required to present a valid Covid-19 certificate. When attending such an event, the organizers will also have to be vaccinated or ill with Covid-19, and they will not be allowed to be in the same room as the visitors. In museums, these people will be able to take group guided tours without using a nose and mouth cover and without observing a distance of two meters. The number of participants in the group will not be limited.

In turn, the second type of cultural events will be with safety measures, which will be attended not only by vaccinated and Covid-19 patients, but also by a negative Covid-19 test, presenting a valid Covid-19 certificate, as well as children under 12 years of age. Event organizers will need to be vaccinated or ill with Covid-19 and will not be in the same room as event attendees.
