Infectious disease specialist Joyce Sanchez says that it is important for the public to understand that moviegoing 'isn’t risk free'
In the campaign to urge consumers to return to movie theaters — which reopen in earnest this weekend in the U.S. after a five-month shutdown — the National Association of Theatre Owners on Friday announced a voluntary nationwide set of health and safety protocols in the era of COVID-19 that include requiring masks.
Sanchez and Goldsmith, who also participated in the press conference, said going to the movies isn't risk-free, but that the voluntary guidelines will go a long way in mitigating any risk. They both said that as of now, there hasn't been one case of transmission of COVID-19 traced to a movie theater
Exceptions to this policy include those unable to wear face coverings such as children under 2 years of age and individuals with certain medical/physical conditions that inhibit their ability to safely wear face coverings. In addition, face coverings may be removed for the purpose and limited time period necessary to consume food and beverages, if approved by state or local health authorities.
