A packed cineplex might seem like a recipe for disaster, but with proper precautions going to the movies may not be that dangerous, Quartz reported. No outbreaks were traced to any theaters even before coronavirus lockdowns.
“In a setting where we’re not talking, we’re just passively breathing and wearing masks, it might be a safer bet than a noisy, crowded bar,” said Jade Flinn, a faculty member at Johns Hopkins Medicine who trains nurses at its biocontainment unit, according to the publication.
“At movie theaters, if you’re not eating popcorn, you’re just sitting there with your mask on,” Flinn said, Quartz reported. Also, everyone’s facing the same way, which helps reduce the chances of spreading coronavirus - with proper social distancing.
But some health experts are dubious.
“You’re not going to catch me at a theater any time soon,” said Dr. Diana Cervantes, an expert in infection prevention and control who is an assistant professor at the University of North Texas Health Science Center, a medical school in Fort Worth, reported The New York Times.
