Slowly but surely, the world is beginning to recover from the mess of COVID-19, as we settle back into “the norm.” France is the next country to make progress in that realm. As of today, outdoor events can now operate at full capacity, a much-anticipated development for music lovers and the nightlife industry.
Starting today (June 30th), event goers who have received both doses of the vaccine or can present proof of a negative COVID-19 test can attend outdoor events. France has lifted capacity restrictions completely for outdoor events. This capacity was previously capped at 5,000 people. Indoor events must continue to operate at 75% capacity. Starting July 9th, nightclubs are permitted to reopen – the first time since France’s first nationwide lockdown in March 2020.
