COVID-19 PROTOCOL FOR VISITORS
ARTISSIMA 2021 – ‘OVAL PAVILION’ EXHIBITION CENTRE
DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

Body temperature measurement
All visitors entering the exhibition Pavilion must have their body temperature measured at every access.

Covid-19 green pass
According to the decree-law of 22 July 2021, participation in major events throughout Italy is only granted to those holding a valid Covid-19 green certification (also known as Green Pass) which is granted upon:

Holding a vaccination certificate (the first dose is enough if administered at least 14 days earlier)
Testing negative within the past 48 hours (rapid antigen test) or 72 hours (molecular test)
Holding a certificate of recovery from Covid-19 contracted within the past 6 months

A facility for rapid swab tests will be available at the entrances to the exhibition Pavilion.

Exhibitors not holding a Covid-19 green pass
Visitors arriving from abroad, in particular, from non-EEC and extra-Schengen countries, vaccinated with Comirnaty – Pfizer – BioNtech, Spikevax – Moderna, Vaxzevria AstraZeneca and Janssen Johnson & Johnson (recognised by the European Medicines Agency), NOT holding a Covid-19 green pass will be required to show a vaccination certificate issued by competent authorities, written in at least one of the following languages:

Italian
English
French
Spanish

The certificate must include the following information:

Personal details of the owner (name, surname, date of birth)
Vaccine information (name and batch)
Date(s) of vaccine administration
Identification of the entity issuing the certificate (state, health authority)

Visitors who do not hold a vaccination certificate because they recovered from Covid-19 must show a certificate of recovery that includes the following information:

Personal details of the owner (name, surname, date of birth)
Information on the holder’s previous SARS-CoV-2 infection following a positive test (date of the first positive swab)
Identification of the entity issuing the certificate (state, health authority)

If for any reason, health or personal, the visitor is unable to provide vaccination documentation or a certificate of recovery, he or she will have to take a rapid swab test at the special pavilion managed by the IRM (Medical Research Investigations) Healthcare Company or in any other authorized pharmacy; a quick swab with a negative result will grant the exhibitor a certificate to enter the trade show valid for the following 48 hours.

The facility for rapid swab tests will be open for visitors during the public days from 12pm to 5pm.

We remind all visitors arriving from abroad that they must fill in the PLF (Passenger Locator Form) before entering the country.

All visitors must wear a surgical mask or a mask of higher grade (fabric masks and masks with a filter are not allowed) covering the nose and mouth.
