For the BIRD Theatre Festival we are working hard to collect the latest information on the COVID-19 infection. We are paying close attention to preventing the spread of the disease and taking the following measures.
Countermeasures to Prevent Infectious Diseases
- The theatre is thoroughly cleaned, disinfected and ventilated.
- The number of seats is limited to less than 50% of the fixed seats.
- Alcohol for disinfection is available at each location.
- We have set up a temperature check station.
- Places such as the reception area are equipped with a screen to prevent droplet infection.
- All actors and staff are checked daily to make sure they are in good health.
