City of Tartu, nightclubs agree on principles for curbing coronavirus
Deputy mayor of Tartu Mihkel Lees said that the same principles were agreed upon with Maasikas, Vabank, Shooters and Level nightclubs and the Naiiv culture club, all of which promised to take the public health situation extremely seriously and do their best to prevent further spread of the virus, spokespeople for the city government said.
The clubs pledged to carefully observe the rule of patron dispersion, for which more staff will be deployed where necessary. Visitors will also have their temperature taken to ensure they are in good health. The clubs also promised to continuously make sure that alcohol is not sold to intoxicated people.
The clubs who joined the pledge will only allow up to 200 people in their facilities at a time over the coming two weeks.
Mayor of Tartu Urmas Klaas said that the coronavirus outbreak in Tartu is associated with several entertainment facilities.
"For that reason, we deemed it the right call to agree upon a set of rules to contribute to resolving the situation. A joint effort and responsible behavior is required for that purpose from both nightclub managers and patrons," Klaas said.
Good cooperation with entertainment facilities gives reason to hope that the virus spread can be contained in Tartu, according to Lees.
"It is not our intention to kill off nightlife in Tartu - it is very important that people's health be protected and that entrepreneurship, too, should survive," he said.
