HES code requirement for participation in exhibitions
CNR Holding, leading the industry with more than 40 exhibitions held annually, has secured the healthcare of its exhibitors and visitors at exhibitions and adopted a series of measures under the new “return to normal” criteria determined by the Turkish government and UFI (The Global Association of the Exhibition Industry) to remove potential risks.
Accordingly, the entrance and exit points of exhibitions have been rearranged. Body temperature is checked at exhibition entrances. External air is used in ventilation systems and the air inside is kept clean permanently. The number of people at the exhibition venue in the same period of time is restricted. Exhibitors, visitors, and staff members are requested to share their HES codes at exhibition entrances.
