Washington state health officials have now linked more than 230 cases of Covid-19 to the Watershed country music festival.
Cases have been identified among residents of 11 Washington counties, with at least one known case in Oregon. “We urge the public to self-quarantine and seek testing if you attended the music festival,” advised a release from Grant County Health District.
Watershed did not require proof of vaccination or a negative Covid test for entry, but such policies are quickly becoming the norm in the live music industry. Live Nation, which promotes Watershed and other country music festivals like Michigan’s Faster Horses,last week that all artists, crew and attendees at Live Nation venues and festivals will have to provide proof of full vaccination or a negative test beginning October 4th.
Lollapalooza, held in Chicago the same weekend as Watershed, was among the first festivals to require proof of vaccination.
