  • April 27, 2022

Covid-safe measures at Byron Bay Bluesfest 2022

Hemisphere’s Dr Bill Anseline was on the job down at the 33rd Byron Bay Bluesfest over the Easter long weekend. After a 2 year Pandemic Pause the festival was back bigger and better than ever with additional safety measures in place to ensure the event was as Covid-safe as possible.

Here are some of his Covid-safe observations over the 5 day festival…

 

Support crew masked and ready – checking credentials upon artist arrival

Dr Bill’s festival medical van – aside from the usual medical emergencies that happen day to day on an event of this scale, there were added requirements including Covid testing, provide negative rapid antigen test clearance to artists and support to artists who were suffering from ailments caused by long Covid.

Backstage crew were required to be masked at all times to minimise risk

Strict covid-safe plan implemented across catering department.

Masks, hand sanitiser stations and individually packaged food was common sight in catering to reduce risk of any potential transmission

Dr Bill’s festival medical van stocked with additional rapid antigen testing and masks if anyone needed

Individually packaged food options replaced more traditional open buffets to minimise covid risk potential transmission

Between sets there was covid-safe messaging across screens reminding patrons to social distance where possible, wash hands frequently and use available hand sanitisers

Despite the mask mandate having been lifted, strict bubbles and zones were implemented with masks required by those crew entering those zones

Crew, artists and support staff required daily rapid antigen testing with results uploaded each morning

Masks and check-in required when entering artist or promoter areas

Green room essentials – snacks, sanitiser and social distancing

Well done to Bluesfest for reducing the risk of COVID and helping keep the artists and staff safe and well!
