UK Theaters Plan to Reopen Mid-June
The coronavirus pandemic has been a threat to all countries worldwide and has been the cause of concern for every nation. Easily spread among the populace, the coronavirus would have proliferated even more than it already has if public places weren’t essentially shut down. So places like restaurants, bars, theaters, etc. all had to be shut down worldwide to keep the virus from spreading. Now, businesses are starting to slowly reopen with restrictions all over the place. Theaters are beginning to slowly reopen worldwide and the UK seems to have decided upon a time frame in which they would like to reopen their theaters.
Here in the United States, a few states have started to reopen some businesses that had to close down when the pandemic began. Restaurants, bars, and theaters are now beginning to reopen slowly state by state with heavy restrictions to keep the spread of infection minimal if not completely contained. Theater chains such as AMC and Regal have decided to stay closed until around the summer season, but other theaters have started reopening where they can. The ones that have reopened must take temperatures, have people where masks and gloves, groups must be limited in size, people must stay seated apart from one another, and everything must constantly be sanitized.
Cinemas in the United Kingdom are planning on reopening their doors some time in mid-June. When the theater chains AMC, Cinemark, and Regal shut their doors in mid-March other nation’s theaters followed in their footsteps. It only makes sense that they would follow in their footsteps in their plans to reopen. They will still need to have the same plans in place there that we have here in order to prevent a resurgence of the virus. So things there will not be the same way they used to be just like in the rest of the world.
Some people believe that businesses reopening, such as theaters, means that everything will be back to the way it was before we know it. That is not at all what is going to happen because the threat of the virus is still looming with no real way to treat it. As such, we need to start preparing ourselves mentally to deal the aftermath of all of this pandemic business and how we will have to adjust to the world around us. The only hope for us at this point to allow things to go back to the way they were before is a vaccine for the virus. Anything less than the inoculation against the virus will not help the world as a whole, and there are people all over the world who are against this life-saving measure.
