Emmys Plan: Vaccinations Required as TV Academy Announces Awards Ceremony Schedules
On Friday, the Television Academy announced more details regarding the upcoming Creative Arts and Primetime Emmy Awards ceremonies, chief among them the fact that attendees will be required to show proof of vaccination in order to gain admittance. The TV Academy previously announced that ceremony attendees would be restricted to nominees and their guests.
The restriction comes as many events within the slowly re-opening industry require proof of vaccination or rapid result COVID tests before entry. On Wednesday, the State of California urged everyone, regardless of their vaccination status, to wear masks indoors while away from their homes, in an attempt to stem the spike fueled by the Delta variant of COVID-19.
