In compliance with these guidelines, Veronafiere hereby advises all exhibitors, visitors, employees and collaborators to:

Veronafiere has installed dispensers with a water-alcohol solution based disinfectant for washing hands in all workplaces, bathrooms, corridors, common areas and reception areas which we invite you to use frequently. Dispensers have also been installed at various points throughout the Exhibition Centre. Close attention to the hygiene of your hands is an essential aspect for all preventive action. Hand hygiene is easy to ensure and consequently a key element in preventing infection.

As a precaution, specific cleaning measures have also been implemented in particularly busy areas such as entrances, escalators and lifts, as well as door handles and handrails.
