SAFETY AND HYGIENE CONCEPT

– ITB China Industry MeetUp –

ITB China Industry MeetUp is planning collaboratively with the event venues and all involved partners to deliver a safe and secure setting and experience for our attendees; remaining alert to the Covid-19 risks we face at any given point in time. This is a short overview of health and safety measures taken at and around the ITB China Industry MeetUp allowing the flexibility to ramp up or down the response as local circumstances dictate.

Before the event

✓ It is required to do pre-registration with attendee’s ID-number and real name.

✓ Before arrival all attendees about to enter the event venue need to present the green “Health Code” at the entrance and declare their personnel health. The QR-code, mandated by the Chinese authorities, can be produced through the WeChat or Alipay.

✓ Participants must present their green health code with negative PCR test result not older than 48h to enter the venue. Any attendees unable to show a green code will under no circumstances be allowed to attend the event.

✓ A body temperature check will be performed at the hotel entrance. Attendees are allowed to enter the venue only after confirming that the body temperature is below 37.3℃.

During the event

✓ The organizer will provide complimentary face masks and disinfecting wipes at registration and including in all delegate bags. All attendees are encouraged to wear them throughout the entire event.

✓ The flows at the entrances and exits will be supervised to avoid queues and clustering while enforcing a minimum safety distance.

✓ The registration desks will be equipped with readily accessible hand sanitizer for the free use of attendees.

✓ The frequency of disinfection of potentially infectious surfaces (e.g. smooth table/counter surfaces, microphones, glass elements/protective measures) and/or areas where a heightened risk of infection may exist (e.g. door handles, toilets, registration desks and other areas) will be at increased level.

✓ Venue staff in catering areas who are in direct contact with customers will be wearing face masks.

✓ Food and drink counters will be equipped with protective devices, and food and drinks should only be served by service staff.

After-event traceability of all participants

✓ All participants have registered in advance with ID-number and real name in order to receive their access authorization. This way, the organizer can identify contact persons quickly in the event of a coronavirus infection.

✓ After the event, attendees shall follow up their health status for 14 days after the event. If any attendee develops a fever, dry cough and/or is diagnosed with suspected, confirmed or an asymptomatic case of COVID-19, the organizer must be promptly informed so that the organizer can cooperate with the CDC to investigate relevant contacts as soon as possible.

*If, according to the requirements of the local government, MB Exhibitions (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (in short MBE) is prevented from holding the event or if it is to be reasonably assumed by MBE that the regular execution of the event would be significantly affected or impeded (e.g. travel restrictions entering and departing from Shanghai) due to the occurrence or development of a Covid-19 outbreak in China, MBE will officially announce the cancellation or postpone of ITB China Industry MeetUp.
