Everyone entering the gathering will be required to show a green pass on the Al Hosn app
A negative PCR test will be required to take no more than 48 hours prior to the event
Face masks should be worn by all, at all times

Along with the usual temperature checking and sanitation of the premises should be carried out throughout the event.
