It's a first.
A test concert is organized on Saturday evening at the AccorHotels Arena in Paris.
In total, 5,000 spectators will meet the Indochine group, with a mask but without physical distancing.
An experiment like other countries have done before us, with success.
This was particularly the case in Barcelona in March.
A concert, in real life, and with the public.
In France, the very first test concert takes place on Saturday evening in Paris where the Indochine group will play in front of 5,000 people, with a mask but without respecting the safety distances.
In Barcelona, Spain, a test concert on the same model has already taken place successfully last March.

Actual gauge
A tested audience, masks, good ventilation, but no physical distancing. This is the protocol applied during the giant concert in Barcelona in March which will be applied on Saturday evening in Paris. In Spain, the experiment conducted by infectious disease specialist Boris Revollo was successful: in total, six out of 5,000 people contracted the virus within two weeks of the concert, an incidence similar to that of the rest of the population at that time. -the. "The evaluation we made after the concert was positive and we were able to prove that the measures that we had implemented were safe to avoid the transmission of the Covid in a massive event, such as a music concert," explains- does it at Europe 1.

Same number of spectators, Saturday at the AccorHotels Arena, in Paris.
“5,000 people in the pit of the Arena Accord, that's a real gauge, meaning people aren't left behind, and it's roughly two to three people per square meter, that is to say, the opposite of what we have been experiencing for almost 15 months, "explains Constance Delaugerre, virologist at Saint-Louis hospital, who supervises the health supervision of the concert-test.
"Our assessment is important to know if we can once again experience a concert as we are used to," she continues at the microphone of Europe 1 on Saturday morning.

France's delay
In Spain, other similar experiments were carried out last week.
Some 400 people were able to dance in a nightclub near Barcelona.
Among them, Clara, 20, does not see the antigen test as a barrier to getting out.
"Me, if I have to do this to go party, I will do it all the time," she said.
"It's 15 minutes, it doesn't hurt. It's better to party like that with safety measures. So yes, that reassures me."
From now on, the time for experiments is over in Catalonia, because the model has proven its worth.
In July, a festival will welcome 25,000 people over three days, who will have to be tested every morning.
In France, the experiment is just beginning. "We would have liked to do all this so that the confinement opens very quickly on a recovery", regrets Constance Delaugerre, who notes a certain delay in France. "I think that we could have worked much earlier on the resumption of cultural events. We know very well that the time to set up a research is always long, if we had been able to do that in March, we would certainly have gained time."
