BROADWAY—–(77WABC)
Broadway officials have announced the new safety protocols that will be put in place to safely reopen the Great White Way.
The new safety protocols call for mandatory vaccinations and weekly testing for all theater workers and audience members.
Some exceptions will be made for employees who cannot get vaccinated for age or health reasons.
Audience members will be required to bring proof of full vaccinations as well as their masks.
Children under 12 must show a negative test.
If you attend a show, you can expect that everyone from the actors to the ticket collectors will be vaccinated and tested.
On top of that, theaters must have improved HVAC standards to make sure air is circulating properly.
Getting shows back up and running is key to restarting New York’s economy.
Right now, theaters are scheduled to reopen in September.
