London theatre tomorrow - to go or not?

[Chellors123]

Hi, I know there have been a few of these but I am starting to get a bit worried particularly with the confines of a theatre.

I have tickets for a show tomorrow afternoon followed by dinner. I'll also be travelling by train. Would you still go?

I just booked tickets for ds and dh to go a week on Saturday travelling down by train so yes, I would go.

We are. Getting train in and going to see show.

No I wouldn’t go. I would be worried about catching it and spreading it.

No.

I'd go while we are still in the early stages like now but not at the expected peak

I would go as long as you dont have any symptoms. Follow hygiene advice and enjoy.

I went to a theatre in a Northern City on Wednesday and travelled by train and tram. All good.

You have to do what you feel is right, but there's a lower chance of catching by doing something now, rather than in two weeks. Maybe look at it as a last really nice treat before more things are cancelled and many of us want to keep to ourselves a bit more.

I would go so long as you have no recent relevant travel or contacts, no fever or cough. Maybe also think about anyone vulnerable you may be caring for or seeing in next two weeks but to be honest just being out and about poses that issue.

If you go and there our people coughing, speak to the staff to ask for them to be removed as they are in breach of guidelines. I do with the govt would announce some measures to enforce this. Some of my family are going tomorrow to a show, I might actually ring the theatre and ask if they will be monitoring and removing people.

We had same dilemma - matinee tickets for 4 and then Rules restaurant for tomorrow
We have decided to cancel - 3 areas of risk - tube, theatre and restaurant - and tube back
This was delayed 60th present for DH but he has cancer, I'm T1D and we both have heart conditions
It is our choice to lose a hell of a lot of money, but now we've decided I feel better about it - DH really was jumpy and I couldn't put him through that - wrong timing really!🤷‍♀️

If you go and there our people coughing, speak to the staff to ask for them to be removed as they are in breach of guidelines. Is it not a 'new continuous cough' that is of concern? Lots of people have asthma, hay fever etc. I don't think theatre staff will be legally entitled to remove people for coughing.

I live here and the tubes are very quiet. Theatres too.

I'm couging and my son is coughing. He has been for three weeks and has a diagnosed throat infection. I am asthmatic and have had my cough for about a fortnight (co-inciding with a house move to an area with far more trees). 111 have advised us both that we can go around our normal business.

I've got tix in two weeks time, it's an amazing show so am also very unsure what to do!

Op we have theatre tickets this weekend and I'm meant to start jury service next week. We've been self-isolating since I found out cv symptoms can be mild (dh and I have both had a headachey bug on and off for 10 days) but when I rang the court to say I've been ill they told me to rest up and ring back on Monday if I'm still not well. I wish the government advice was more straightforward, or that the current advice was being followed.

Oh yes. Going while I still can.

Wearing plastic gloves on public transport etc.

I'm going to London on Monday to see an exhibition.

I will take sensible precautions but will be going unless things change a lot over the weekend.

I went last Monday and it was so empty that I may as well have been in my own house. I sat in any seat I wanted with no one around me. That was in the stalls too!

“If you go and there our people coughing, speak to the staff to ask for them to be removed as they are in breach of guidelines.”

I’m asthmatic and going to theatre tomorrow. I hope no one throws me out! Occasionally I just do the odd cough, especially as I’ll be walking part of the journey.

I think I would feel worried ,but as so many people not going ,may be a good time to go IFYSWIM! Take precautions ,maybe wear gloves ,wash hands at every opportunity .We were at a Charity Supper the other day and there were about a hundred people there ! Washed hands as much as possible .If you are not in an At Risk group then I would still go

We just got an email to say our event has been cancelled (to be rescheduled).

Thanks everyone, I've got no existing health problems and no signs of symptoms so I am airing on going. I have hand sanitiser and by the sounds of it it's relatively quiet in London. I don't have any other plans for the next couple of months so might treat it as a day out before the peak

It isn’t about the risk to you as a healthy young individual. It is about the risk to other less healthy people, when the virus is spread by things like this.
