According to [Taiwan News], for outdoor performances, there will no longer be a limit of 300 people, and venues can instead be filled to 50% of maximum capacity as long as a social distance of one meter can be maintained. However, he said that all of these venues should continue to implement other epidemic prevention measures, such as real-name registration, body temperature measurement, mask-wearing, a ban on eating and drinking, and proper social distancing before performances, during intermission, and at the end of shows.
