One of such new rules states that room occupancy of maximum 4000 people, for instance, is now limited to 1500 people, always with seated places and ensuring social distancing.

Other measures by Coliseu Porto Ageas is the definition of new circuits for the public, which will avoid gatherings and also a thorough cleaning and disinfection plan of the facilities, with a full sanitation of the room before and after the shows.
