Brief Summary
The objective is to demonstrate if there is no increase in the risk of Sars-Cov-2 salivary carriage 7 days after a concert in the group participating in the event compared to a non participating group who stayed at home. The hypothesis is that a systematic screening of Sars-Cov-2 within the 3 days before the event allows to control the risk of transmission and prevent cluster of transmission during the concert.

7 days after the concert (-1/+8 days)
Secondary Outcomes (5)
Number of participants in each group with a positive salivary RT-PCR the day of the concert
