Abstract: Mach 11, 2020 is called „Black Day” in the event sector. As one of the first measures taken to curb the coronavirus epidemic, the Hungarian Government stated on this day that holding an event with more than 100 people in a closed place and more than 500 people in a non-closed place are prohibited. The first season-opening events in the event sector, such as the celebrations on March 15, were thus immediately missed. This was nowhere near the end of their cavalry, although there was a small assignment during the summer, from November holding all kinds of events was forbidden. The employee in the event sector had to make a decision, to face the uncertainty, to endure this endless period that still lasts today, because even now the „fourth wave” is hovering over us, and we don't know what it brings. In my research, I examined their situation and possibilities after surviving two waves, during the prohibition of the third wave.
