セブ市の映画館の再開が11月にはされる予定です。
EOCの副主任実施者であるジョエル・ガルガネラ議員によると、市内の複数の映画館を対象に、再開に関する危機管理および健康計画についての検査をすでに実施したとのことです。再開に向けての検査は実際には4月から5月にかけて始まっていたようで、現在は換気に重点を置いているとのことです。
EOCでは、今後数週間のうちに、各劇場に設置することで合意した追加の健康対策を施した上で、ようやく映画館が再開されるものと期待しています。映画館が再開されるためには、座席、プロトコル、換気システムの変更が必要です。
映画館がオープンすることで、今まで閉鎖によって閉ざされていた飲食物など、劇場産業と結びついた経済の一部も開放されるでしょう。
今月中に映画館がオープンすることになれば、2020年3月以来、人々が大画面で映画を観ることができるようになります。映画館以外にもスケートリンクやビリヤード場など、他の娯楽施設についても再開の可能性を検討しています。
しかし、カラオケ・バーについては、KTVの部屋は天井が低く換気が悪いことが多いため、まだ再開のためのプロトコルを検討していません。
Cebu City cinemas may open within November
CEBU CITY, Philippines — The Cebu City Emergency Operation Center (EOC) is eyeing the reopening of cinemas soon, most likely before November 2021 ends.
Councilor Joel Garganera, the deputy chief implementor of the EOC, said that they have already inspected multiple cinemas around the city for their contingency and health plans regarding the reopening.Mr. Garganera stated that they already had the inspection last Monday. He also added that they actually started the inspection as early as April and May and now, they put emphasis on ventilation.
The EOC expects that in the next few weeks, the cinemas would finally be reopened with the additional health measures that were agreed upon to be placed in each theatre.Changes in the seating plan, protocol, and ventilation system had to be put in place before a cinema could reopen again.
Garganera notes that the opening of cinemas would also open a whole section of the economy tied to the theatre industry, including food and beverages that have been closed due to the closure of the cinemas.
If cinemas will open this month, this will be the first time since March 2020 that people would be able to watch movies on the big screen.Aside from cinemas, the EOC has also been checking other forms of entertainment, including the skating rink, billiard hall, and others for possible reopening.
However, the EOC is yet to look into protocols for karaoke bars to reopen because of the ventilation problems of KTV rooms, which often have low-ceiling and poorly ventilated spaces.Still, the EOC is gearing towards reopening these establishments as long as the COVID-19 situation is kept under control and the vaccination program improves.
