JAKARTA - The Indonesian film industry has been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Even though cinemas have now reopened, it turns out that people's trust to watch on the big screen is still low.
Even though reportedly, cinema is the place with the lowest risk of COVID-19 infection. This was conveyed by the Fraunhofer Institute for Building Physics (Fraunhofer IBP) in Germany.
A project called 'CineCov' was carried out to test aerosol particles in theaters under proper supervision.
“The hot air exhaled by the audience rose to the top. Especially the so-called typical displacement ventilation for cinemas takes advantage of this effect. This has the decisive advantage that the aerosols and the viruses they contain can be effectively removed," said Professor Dr. Gunnar Grün, CineCov project manager, launches SelluloidJunkie.
“For us, it is difficult to understand why cinemas are subject to much stricter access regulations than restaurants. The current scientific analysis proves that cinemas can be operated safely for people with a low risk of infection,” said Dr. Thomas Negele as former president of SPIO.
They also found out how much aerosol could be detected in the environment using a non-SARS-CoV-2 model virus. Incidents related to COVID-19 only occurred as much as 0.01 percent in the scope of cultural activities.
Cinema is the place with the lowest COVID-19 risk when compared to pubs, restaurants, schools, churches or other public places.
