Observing Safety in Events During Coronavirus
Outbreak
2
Considering the recent Coronavirus outbreak,
event organizers need to stay updated regarding
its developments, boost communications, and plan
added safety measures for attendees (even a few
months after the situation is normalised).
3
What we can do is observe required safety
measures against the spread of virus during
events, seminars, conferences, and so on. Lets
take a look at the precautions that can be taken
to ensure the safety and wellbeing of organizers
and attendees alike
4
Keep Event Hand-Shake Free
As per the WHO, one should maintain a minimum
distance of 1 metre (3 feet) between themselves
and someone who appears to be coughing or
sneezing. Keep the event handshake-free, in
order to prevent spreading of the virus via
physical contact.
5
Thorough Sanitization
Add hand-sanitizing stations for the easy access
and hands-on prevention of viral
transmission. Offer disinfectant sprays in
high-traffic areas, which would increase the
hygiene frequency of high-touch areas, such as
doorknobs, furniture surfaces, escalator rails
etc. Vendors should regularly disinfect their
work stations, while also making sure that they
wash their hands frequently.
6
Conduct Onsite Screening Provide Guidance
Provide guidance at information booths in the
form of printed copies of safety measures and
verbal guidance/assurances in order to restrain
unwarranted panic.
7
Skip The Event If Feeling Unwell
Be it organizers or attendees, feeling unwell or
exhibiting symptoms of the virus, should skip the
event.
8
Apart from following the above measures, everyone
must observe the following in the midst of the
outbreak, as per WHO
Avoid touching your face, nose, or mouth, as your
hands might have been in touch with infected
surfaces and inadvertently transfer the virus
inside your body. Follow proper respiratory
hygiene, especially when you are among large
crowds and gatherings. Keep yourself up-to-date
regarding the recent developments of the
COVID-19, as this will allow you to make informed
decisions for protecting yourself and those
around you.
9
Apart from these measures, one can always
reschedule and transform their event into a
virtual event using event apps, when the
necessity is dire and circumstances are
predominantly unsafe.
