Organizers said they were confident that new safety measures adopted by the festival — like cutting daily attendance in half, implementing enhanced cleaning and introducing public sanitation stations — would essentially see the Stampede function like a blueprint for other mass gathering events scheduled this year across Canada. Such an event, paired with the province lifting almost all of its public health restrictions shortly before it started, had raised consternation among some infectious disease experts, who worried about the potential for an uptick in COVID cases driven by the more infectious delta variant.
Nashville North — the popular plus, live country music venue — saw 60, visitors enter the tent, 73 per cent of whom showed vaccination proof. Under modified rules, patrons had to show proof of at least one COVID shot two weeks prior, or agree to have a negative rapid test result at the entrance to the grounds or the door of the tent.
