Additional precautions for large-scale events

– MOH advised event organisers to cancel or defer non-essential large-scale events. For those who choose to proceed, they should take all necessary precautions. These include:
· Carry out temperature screening;
· Look out for respiratory symptoms such as cough or runny nose, and deny entry to unwell individuals;
· Remind participants not to attend if the participants have recent travel history to mainland China, and require travel declaration, if possible;
· Ensure that event venues are ventilated and are adequately equipped with facilities for handwashing; and
· Increase the frequency of cleaning commonly used areas; and
· Maintain a registration list of participants, if practical.

– Individuals who are unwell, on Leave of Absence, or have recent travel history to mainland China, should not attend such events.
