Dear MEL Topic Readers,

Coronavirus: Two-metre rule ‘must be relaxed for musicians’

It seems that social distancing is another absolute law around the world. But how far should the distance be, 2.0 meters like in the UK, 1.8 meters, or 6 feet in the US, 1.5 meters in Australia, or 1 meter in France or Italy? What about the passengers in every other seat on an airplane or train? How about the audience in a music hall or a movie theater? Then what about the musicians on stage or in a recording studio?

Along with face masks and shields, social distancing is thought to reduce the risk of becoming infected during the coronavirus pandemic. In the meantime, it makes it difficult for many people to get back to their businesses. Musicians are struggling to make their living as theaters and venues are closed. Even for recording, playing orchestral music while keeping the UK’s two-meter social distancing rule is challenging. How does an orchestra sound under such an extraordinary configuration?

Enjoy reading the article and learn about the challenge musicians are coping with.
