Therefore, participants are required to fill out a screening and wear a reusable or single-use medical mask unless eating or maintaining a distance of at least 2 metres when outdoors. Surfaces will be cleaned and sanitized regularly, in between each activity and when participants leave an area.

Participants are asked to bring a paper or digital copy of their vaccination receipt or proof of exemption, and a piece of identification for view only (must be issued by an institution or public body and show their name and date of birth. Photo ID is not required). We will not keep a copy on record, please do not email us proof.
