SWAB TESTS
A Covid-19 swab test can be done in many places in Ravenna. You can do a rapid test with results in 15 minutes, valid for 48 hours, or a PCR test valid for 72 hours. In both cases testing centers can send results to the local health center – AUSL – which will release by email or sms the green pass (this usually takes 4/5 hours). Phone booking is mandatory, direct access is not allowed.

ENTRANCE & EXIT
A prescribed flow through event venues will help attendees to safely maintain social distancing requirements. Entrances and exits will follow the same one-way traffic according to the logical flow. These traffic flows allow for proper spacing to be maintained and easily monitored, all of which contributes to our enhanced healthy and safety standards.

VISITORS & EXHIBITORS We will facilitate visitors’ attendance during a designated time slot in order to evenly spread the attendance and to allow adherence to social distancing guidelines and minimize contacts. Controls over the maximum number of visitors can also be set. By staggering admission each audience can enjoy a safer and more seamless experience. |
Our exhibitors can enjoy full, productive days throughout the event. Our visitors can plan their time in advance and have the option to reduce their costs and travel if desired. Predictable and traceable audience patterns also gives us better insights into attendee flow.
