POTUS election rallies in the US have added a Covid-19 specific waiver to the terms. Attendees agree to assume all risks relating to exposure to Covid-19.
Will this become standard for public events in a Covid-19 world?
Ticket conditions for public events don't usually contain specific waivers for illnesses such as flu or measles. But I expect this may become more widely used at least until a vaccine becomes available or Covid-19 disappears.
A couple of examples of existing Australian event terms:
Ticketek - may be updated once events recommence.
Fastrack V8 Race Experience - added because they have apparently recommenced operations with appropriate health measures in place.
