Queens Borough President Donovan Richards announced that the Queens Live! concert series will be returning, headlined by Action Bronson.

SummerStage Anywhere was launched in 2020 as a way to continue entertaining its audience. QBP Richards held a series of Queens Live! concerts in 2021 as well on Aug. 23, Sept. 12 and Sept. 19. Capital One City Parks Foundation SummerStage has been providing New Yorkers from across all five boroughs with free concerts for almost 40 years. In addition to acting as the founder and curator of Video Music Box, McDaniels has a lot of experience as a director and producer for some of the biggest hip-hop artists over the last 30 years. The performances, ranging from jazz, hip-hop, Latin, global, indie and contemporary dance, are meant to represent the cultural fabric of the city. “I couldn’t be more excited to partner with the Capital One City Parks Foundation SummerStage team to bring Queens’ own Action Bronson to his home borough in what should be a fantastic free afternoon of music.

According to the law, the prerequisite for this would be either that a new, more dangerous virus variant is circulating or that, due to many new infections, "there is a threat of overloading hospital capacities in the respective regional authority." Children up to their sixth birthday, the deaf or hard of hearing, and people for whom this is not possible for medical reasons, which must be documented by a certificate, are generally exempt from the mask requirement. Since April 3, testing has only been mandatory in hospitals, prisons, nursing homes and homes for the elderly. On the other hand, a surgical mask must be worn in many health care facilities and homes. As well as in long-distance trains and airplanes - here a medical mask (OP mask) is also sufficient. In Bavaria, there are very few Corona regulations left - and even those have been relaxed yet another time: Since Saturday, May 28, you no longer have to wear an FFP2 mask in health care facilities and homes; an OP mask is now sufficient here.Otherwise, there is still a testing obligation in these facilities, plus a mask obligation in public transport.

Mr. Uo explains some of the reasons for the difference. “The Japanese people have expressed an unprecedented desire to donate, showing heightened awareness of the crisis,” Mr Uo explains. Contributions have been not only in the form of cash, but also through crowdfunding initiatives raising money online. Fortunately, in mid-May, for the first time in two and a half years, they managed to resume the national fundraising relay. The pattern of raising funds has been changing as well. The Japan Guide Dog Association, which trains guide dogs for the blind, has also seen a drop in annual collections. But the survey also shows that younger people, especially those in their 20s and 40s, have been particularly generous with donations. These figures are significantly higher than the pre-pandemic levels, when donations ranged between 3.5 billion to 4.5 billion JPY ($26 million to $33 million USD) annually. Ashinaga is a non-profit organization that supports the education of children who have lost their parents due to illness or disaster. The pandemic has brought a virtual halt to such initiatives. The activities of groups raising funds on the street have inevitably declined during the pandemic. On the other hand, personal contributions to charity have climbed to record highs.
