UK Theatres could reopen from May 2021!
The third step of the plan to ease lockdown comes from the 17 May 2021, providing the data allows, and will see theatres being able to open again with social distancing. Performances can resume indoors with a capacity of 1,000 people or half full, whichever is lower.
“Cinemas, hotels, performances and sporting events reopen - though social distancing remains.”
Step 4 will come into action from 21 June 2021.
The fourth step: “will potentially see all legal limits on social contact removed, with the final closed sectors of the economy reopened - such as nightclubs.”
What are the conditions for the reopening of theatres?
Lockdown will continue to ease as laid out via the step-by-step basis providing that vaccinations for coronavirus continues to go to plan, evidence of the vaccine reducing deaths and the need for hospital treatment, and infection rates don’t surge.
