We have the Return to Work Safely Protocol, which is separate to public health. That clearly sets out measures that need to be taken into account. These are guidelines for working environments. At the end of the day, all of these national cultural institutions and spaces are working environments. We must ensure that the audiences are safe as well as the people working there.

We are taking all of those factors into account and my Department and its senior officials are working extremely hard in engaging with every type of arts organisation in the country on that matter.
