Sadly, selfish people will abuse this. They'll go even if they feel sick, likely justifying it as "but I already bought my ticket". Asymptomatic people will also increase the risk.
> Of course, tests must be ubiquitous and this shouldn't happen while in an area having a peak of the epidemy.
Anecdotally, a doctor I went to recently told me that the standard swab test is likely to be ruled invalid in the near future, he referenced a study that should be published soon.
So, we will be flying blind if large (indoor) events re-open.
