TARJA TURUNEN: Mexico Show To Go Ahead As Planned

The following update has been posted on ex-NIGHTWISH vocalist Tarja Turunen's official website with regards to her upcoming Mexico show. It was in jeopardy due to the recent swine flu (H1N1) outbreak that brought Mexico City to a virtual standstill.

"Starting today, bars, restaurants, cinemas, theatres, beach resorts, stadiums and dives will re-open their doors without capacity restrictions but with an advise to the citizenship to continue using masks.

This decision is based on the determination of the Comité Científico de Vigilancia Sanitaria y Epidemiológica in Mexico City to switch from orange to yellow the sanitary alert level on the human influenza epidemic.

The strategies for the operation of mercantile establishments will be published today in the Gaceta Oficial of DF through two agreements, which will include a 'deep cleansing' before opening as well as the disinfection of establishments bathrooms each hour.

Tarja will perform in DF as part of her current tour Storm returns to the Americas Tour 2009 at Circo Volador on May 16th as it was announced, and Mexican fans can wait for a few surprises in the set list."
