fairtrade is constantly in touch with the respective health authorities and the Global Association of the Exhibition Industry (ufi) regarding the coronavirus (2019-nCoV). Unless otherwise advised, our events are taking place as scheduled.
Our current status with regard to the COVID-19 virus remains unchanged: the health and safety of our exhibitors, visitors and staff is our number one priority.
fairtrade follows the recommendations of the World Health Organization (WHO), ufi and the authorities with whom it is in ongoing contact for its events. We strongly urge our exhibitors and visitors to refer to their guidelines and protocols as suggested to contain and mitigate against any further spread of the virus.
If you have any concerns that you may get caught up in an inbound or outbound quarantine, or are feeling unwell, you may want to reconsider your attendance at the event.
We are following local and national public health closely. Dependent on local and national health guidelines and locations of our events, measures typically include:
Public Health messaging displayed and shared pre and during event
Strengthened hygiene, sanitization, availability of disinfectants
Strengthened medical support
Customers who wish to participate in our events and who are not impacted by travel restrictions are free to do so. Travel advice and entry guidelines varies from country to country. Our event attendees are encouraged to check the latest travel advice and entry guidelines for the country to which they wish to travel before making arrangements.
We are monitoring the situation very closely and will follow up with customers as the situation develops. If you have any specific event questions, please contact your customer service team.
