What Latinos Can Expect At A Movie Theater During Coronavirus

Many people are wondering how to safely go back to the movie theaters as a result of the COVID-19 Coronavirus Pandemic.

Globally, there have been more than 21 million cases of COVID-19 with over 5 million of them in United States with over 170,000 deaths, becoming the 3rd leading cause of death in the nation.

Many audiences have justifiably been cautious about a return to public gatherings.

However, movie theaters have heard the concerns of its patrons as well as have been working diligently with federal, state, and local officials to provide the safest environment possible for those who want to experience the magic of cinema.

The first major precaution that most movie theaters are taking is requiring the use of face masks for all patrons. The use of face masks has been shown to reduce the spread of the coronavirus.

Also most movie theaters will be operating with reduced capacity, meaning that you can expect theaters to be less crowded, encouraging social distancing. Some movie theater chains will be putting barriers in between groups to further encourage social distancing.

Also remember there are other modern conveniences that help social distancing, such as online ticketing. Most movie theater chains have online ticketing in place so that you can purchase your movie tickets from the comfort of your own home, and you can show your QR code when at the movie theater to verify your seats. This eliminates the need for you to go to the ticket window and obtain a physical ticket.

Movie theaters will also have hand sanitizer/hand washing stations available as well as enhanced cleaning and sanitation procedures at every location.

If you are concerned about the policies at your local movie theater, please visit their website as many chains have posted online all of the safety measures that they have implemented as a result of the coronavirus.

In addition, drive-in movie theaters have seen a dramatic increase in popularity since the rise of COVID-19 and many new drive-in movie theaters have been popping up as a way for Americans to social distance and enjoy movies on a big screen.
