This is an extended paper prepared by SPI-B on the behavioural evidence on the reopening of large events and venues. It was not considered at any SAGE meeting.
It is an extended version of the SPI-B consensus paper on the reopening of large events and venues which was considered at SAGE 52 on 20 August 2020.
It should be viewed in context: the paper was the best assessment of the evidence at the time of writing. The picture is developing rapidly and, as new evidence or data emerges, SAGE updates its advice accordingly.
Therefore, some of the information in this paper may have been superseded and the author’s opinion or conclusion may since have developed.
These documents are released as pre-print publications that have provided the government with rapid evidence during an emergency. These documents have not been peer-reviewed and there is no restriction on authors submitting and publishing this evidence in peer-reviewed journals.
