COVID-19: Earthquake concert live broadcast due to alert level 2 restrictions

Up to 10,000 young participants and their supporters have missed this year’s Christchurch Weet-bix Kids TRYathlon event following government-announced changes to Covid-19 alert levels in the country.

The event was among the many canceled in the city after New Zealand returned to Alert Level 2 and Auckland returned to Level 3 at 6 am on Sunday. The changes to alert level will take effect for a period of seven days and come after new community-based cases of coronavirus were detected in Auckland.

The audience has been asked to turn away from the Ottawa Christchurch, a concert marking the 10th anniversary of the Christchurch earthquake, on Sunday.

Instead, the concert, which featured Beck Ronja and Hailey Westnra, was broadcast live on YouTube from 2 pm.

“Please don’t come to the botanical gardens for that – the area where the party was to be held will be cordoned off, and we will not let people in,” Christchurch City Council Incident Management Team Leader, Mary Mary Richardson said Sunday morning.

The Ōtautahi Together concert, to celebrate 10 years of the Canterbury earthquake, was held on Sunday, but without an audience due to Cover-19 restrictions.

Hagley Park Polo and Farewell to the Godwits have also been canceled.

The Christchurch Highway Half Marathon and the New Zealand Mountain Bike Championship are still moving forward, albeit with Alert Level 2 restrictions.

“I would highly recommend people who have been planning to attend events across town … to check in with the event organizers to see if it’s still running,” Richardson said.

All Christchurch City Council public facilities will remain open under Level 2, but visitors will need to log in, either manually or with the NZ Covid-19 tracking app, and visitor numbers will be managed to ensure physical distancing.

Spokeswoman Jane Grayson said TRYathalon organizers were disappointed but happy to comply with the government’s changeover announcement on Saturday night.

Within 45 minutes of the announcement, a revocation text was sent to 3,200 youths.

Only one family attended the event in Jelly Park on Sunday morning.

Grayson said the family packed their car and went to bed early in preparation for the early morning start.

“They’ve gone to another park, and they’re doing a triathlon on their own.”

Grayson said organizers have yet to make a decision on the last planned TRYathalon in Dunedin next Sunday.

Five of the 18 TRYathalons planned across the country this year have been canceled due to the Covid-19 alert level changes.

Grayson said that participants will be emailed details of how to get the money back, and there will be an option for a DIY experience they can do on their own.

The court theater would remain open as he already had plans to operate under Alert Level 2.

The hall was divided into two zones, each with a capacity of 100 people. Each area had its own entrance and exit, bar and toilets.

There were also security screens to prevent the spread of the virus and emergencies to keep beneficiaries one meter away.

Meanwhile, organizers of the Armageddon Expo in Christchurch said next weekend that the event will not be able to go forward due to changes in level.

“We will publish confirmed details of the event plans on Monday … and will follow that up with a live session of Team Q and A.”

They had hoped the event would be rescheduled, but said it would not happen in March or April.

Refunds will be arranged for ticket holders, or they can be used for the rescheduled event.

The 4th Selwyn Sounds Music Festival was held in 2020.

Organizers of the Selwyn Sounds music festival, which includes Stan Walker and Hello Sailor, have not specified whether the event will continue as planned in Lincoln on Saturday.

A statement on the event’s website said: “We are currently working with our incredibly talented artists, all officials and authorities and are taking advice from relevant agencies over the next few days, and will identify any action required for Selwyn Sounds 2021.”

The Christchurch Holly Festival of Colors won’t continue at all this year.

Organizers said people will still be able to purchase the colors from Maia Foods at 320 Cashel St, so they can party with close friends and family instead.

“We would like to thank the people of Christchurch for their support in making Holi an event in which our extended communities come together and celebrate as one. They said that next year’s Festival of Colors will be bigger, brighter and more vibrant.
