    Behind the event is a group of music and festival promoters as well as a local hospital who say the safety measures, which include a special ventilation system, make it a safer space than inside a private home. Image Credit: AFP

    "We expect it to be completely safe. Over the next 14 days we will look at how many of the audience test positive for Covid and will report back," explained Josep Maria Llibre, a doctor at the Germans Trias i Pujol hospital just north of Barcelona. Image Credit: Bloomberg
