Fieldlab will publish Eurovision coronavirus infection rate after protests

Dutch News  

The number of coronavirus infections picked up by Eurovision Song Festival fans during last week’s performances will be made public in a couple of weeks after all, a spokesman for the Fieldlab organisation has said. Earlier the organisers said that the number of infections would not be made public because the information was not relevant to the experiment – which was ostensibly to see how big events could be organised safely during the pandemic. In total, 28,249 people had a coronavirus test in one of the Fieldlab test centres prior to attending one of the Eurovision shows. A number of academics have been highly critical of the Fieldlab events, saying they do not follow ethical standards for behavioural research.
