Coronavirus – Rooftop cinema opens in Budapest to ensure social distancing

Szeretlek Magyarország reported that crowded cinemas and theatres became empty after March 11 when the Government of Hungary announced a state of emergency due to the outbroken coronavirus epidemic and did not support overcrowded events. Viewers and artists are waiting since then to get back on stage and into the screening rooms.

The orders of the government about how to reopen cinemas and theatres are still unknown, although, according to the examples of other countries, suggestions have been made.

The prior problem is people lining up to buy tickets which would be solved with online purchasing only. Theatres started to rehearse plays again, and all the actors, actresses and directors wear masks. Outdoor theatres also started the preparation for the summer season, and when the government allows opening, they would be ready to hold the first plays. Experts hope that from September the regular season could start again and therefore rearrange their programs for an autumn opening as well.
