“It is nice that Tērbatas Street is now reserved for pedestrians. But dear Rigans and guests – it is not safe to listen to concerts in the crowd,” said Minister of Health Ilze Ņķele (A / P) on the microblogging site Twitter on Friday evening. She also called on both spectators and organizers to think so that the party doesn’t get short and “with a touch of Covid.” It has already been reported that from Friday, July 17, the Riga City Council is implementing the idea of a city summer street for the first time in an experiment, allocating one month to Tērbatas Street for pedestrians, cyclists and traders. This event was echoed by a number of events.

It is nice that Tērbatas Street is now reserved for pedestrians. But. Dear Rigans and guests – it is not safe to listen to concerts in the crowds. We think with both spectators and organizers that the party does not get short and with a touch of Covid.

The gathering was observed throughout Latvia and on 9.05 it took place in clear violation of the regulations of the AU announced by the state. And it will not be overlooked on Tērbatas Street either, but there is no longer an AU.

We are rightly concerned about the risks of becoming infected with the coronavirus as international travel increases, but the recommendations of epidemiologists about physical distancing at various domestic events should be followed just as seriously. https://t.co/06X3w4BPcE

Tonight, a crowd on Terbatas Street slammed all restrictions, two-meter distances. Now would it be a sincere argument why festivals have been canceled / banned? ????

# Clothing street‘s one of the main “advertising partners” should be @apturicovid!
Knowing that there will be a lot of people and there will be no distance of two meters – at least the app should be encouraged to use. It will not be possible to protect yourself otherwise!cc: @PilsPilvekiem @RigasDome @SPKCentrs pic.twitter.com/H0MBhMWfBi

For the poor squeakers of Tērbatas Street – the residents of Stabu Street also want a pedestrian street. No, not on the site of Tērbatas Street. In addition.

Skeptics in the morning – pedestrian street is a failure, there are no pedestrians!
Skeptics in the evening – the pedestrian street is a failure, it is a COVID hotbed!– Kaspars Zandbergs (@Kaspars_Zn) July 17, 2020
At the same time, the number of restaurant visitors at the tables on the outdoor terraces is limited …

Simply amazing. To walk along the block along Tērbatas Street, you have to literally push through the crowd – the listeners of the concert. 50m further Rimi and 2m on the bus, masks, etc. So what about COVID? @Vinkele @veselibasmin @SPKCentrs

It should be noted that the opening program will continue on Saturday with the rural goods market, the performance of DJ Egons Reiter in the Vidzeme market and other events.
