The ceremony was part of the Government’s scientific Events Research Programme relating to COVID-19, looking at using enhanced testing to examine how events can take place without restrictions. The audience was comprised of frontline workers, with 2500 tickets offered via a ballot. Attendees weren’t required to wear masks or socially distance, but they did have to provide proof they tested negative for COVID-19.
