12.01.2022 LATEST GUIDELINES FROM NSW GOVERNMENT ON COVID-19. Indoor entertainment facilities must have a COVID-19 Safety Plan and can: sell tickets for seated events at 75% of fixed seating capacity, or have one person per 2 square metres on the premises.... Events must be ticketed with ticketholders assigned to specific seats for the 75% and 100% capacity calculation to be used. Group singing and chanting remains a high-risk activity for transmission should someone involved be infected. Indoors settings Up to 50 people may sing together in one area if all singers face forwards and not towards each other have physical distancing of 1.5 metres between each other and any other performers, and 5 metres distancing from all other people in front including the audience and conductor. NSW Health strongly recommends that audience members and congregants older than 12 years old wear face masks if singing or chanting. Ensembles and other musical groups should rehearse and perform outdoors or in large, well-ventilated indoor spaces. Outdoors settings There is no limit on the number of people singing together in an outdoors setting. To minimise infection risk: all singers should face forwards and not towards each other maintain physical distancing of 1.5 metres between each other and any other performers, and keep 5 metres distancing from all other people including the audience and conductor. If the event is one where the audience or congregation are likely to participate in the singing, such as carols by candlelight or religious services, audience members and congregants 12 years or older should wear a face mask. Musical instruments Players of non-reeded woodwind instruments (such as flutes and recorders) should maintain a physical distance of 3 metres from others in the direction of air flow, and 1.5 metres in all other directions. Players of all other musical instruments (including reeded woodwind instruments) should maintain a physical distance of 1.5 metres between each other and the audience/conductor. Ensembles and other musical groups should rehearse and perform outdoors or in large, well-ventilated indoor spaces. Performances and rehearsals of performing arts can be held outdoors with a maximum of 3,000 people (subject to the one person per 2 square metre rule) if the person principally responsible for organising the rehearsal or performance develops and complies with a COVID-19 Safety Plan all participants provide their contact details (name and phone number or email) where practicable. Outdoor performances and rehearsals held at venues where the occupier is otherwise required to have a COVID-19 Safety Plan (e.g. entertainment facilities, major recreation facilities and zoos), may have more than 3,000 people subject to the restrictions at those venues.
