There are major differences within the European region as well. Britain (England, Wales, Scotland within the UK) is an island. You'd think it would be easy wouldn't you? We quarantined (with no checks) AFTER our apparent peak, don't really check incoming, and export to other countries (e.g. New Zealand). Management, or lack of, also plays a part.
There are obviously major differences in approach within Europe, e.g. Sweden (now on the 'red' list, and considered by some there not to have done well), versus Germany. And then look at Italy and Spain. An interesting view is that of 'dark matter', i.e. there's something which marks out some of the population, but as yet we don't know what. It's not just wearing a face covering to protect others, although that helps. It's not just staying at home when asked, or isolating. Testing doesn't stop the spread unless people act accordingly. This factor may be part of the reason why BAME people are badly hit. There are other reasons, but it's not just social status - these are also doctors, nurses, care workers, etc. Of course it could be degree of exposure to the virus, which seems to be the major factor. This is where it affects dance. 10-15 mins in close proximity to someone who's infected without some protection (i.e. them wearing a facial covering) is likely to pass on some infection - more so than passing someone in the street. Sure numbers infected are going down. You're not going to get several thousand at a dance event, but it just needs that one who is infected to be there.
We're going to have to learn to live with this until some vaccine or remedy appears - and of course there is the anti-vaxxer movement to counter that. Given sufficiently low infection rates, a well ventilated room, or better an open-air space, a small (less than 20-30) attendance, and everyone wearing some appropriate facial covering to minimise their chance of infecting me, then I might consider dancing there with a known, safe, partner. I'm also going to assume the place is cleaned and disinfected, which sadly could prove difficult in some venues, and that people use appropriate personal hygiene by washing their hands to minimise spread by what they touch. I'd also like there to be some registration, testing and tracing system in place.
That may well be the situation in your locale. Generally, for places to the west of Europe, it doesn't look like it yet. Remember that freedom brings responsibility to others. To dance you need to be alive. I can wait until the situation is more stable.
