New York Metropolitan Museum of Art resumes after 5 months and a half August 30 7:42

The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, which was closed due to the spread of the new coronavirus, reopened for the first time in five and a half months after taking measures against infections such as limiting the number of people and wearing masks on the 29th.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art, which is one of the largest in the world, has been closed since March 13 due to the spread of the new coronavirus.

The number of people newly infected in New York decreased, and it opened for the first time in five and a half months on the 29th, and people who were waiting for it to restart were immediately visiting.

When resuming, we limit the number of people who can enter at the same time to 25% of the usual one, measure the body temperature at the entrance to check if there is a fever, and oblige to wear a mask for people over 3 years old ..

In addition, we are taking out infection control measures such as quitting the rental of voice guidance equipment, moving the inside of the hall in one way, and not going into a narrow exhibition space.

A local woman said, “I've been waiting for the day to reopen. I've heard that the infection control measures are solid, so I can enjoy it with peace of mind.”

“I'm really excited to finally be able to reach this day,” said Max Hollein, director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. “I want you to enjoy the time you can only spend here.”
