With COVID still a concern, plus a particularly nasty flu season and the new threat of RSV, efforts to avoid getting sick in Park City might seem futile. But from vitamin injections to simply getting more sleep, fest vets offer strategies to stay healthy.
Kleenex aside, a still-burning pandemic mixed with flu season and threats like respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV, seemingly has industry insiders more focused than ever on avoiding the dreaded “festival flu” .
Gersh literary agent Jason Klorfein’s plan looks pretty similar. “I like to go to the Fresh Market and get a bag full of clementines. It’s vitamin C, and I can keep a few easily in my coat pockets for a few days without them going bad,” Klorfein says. “Definitely planning on drinking less and going to bed earlier, but that’s due to age as well.”
But Sundance officials are prepared to offer a safe environment for the thousands of film-lovers and artists they are welcoming back. On the festival’s official website — under the How to Fest section labeled Health & Wellness — it lists the policies in place for this year. Face masks are “strongly” encouraged for all individuals in all official festival locations. Theaters and venues will provide free disposable masks on-site, free for the taking, alongside hand sanitizer stations.
