COVID-19: we answer your questions

Let’s be prepared

We are getting ready for an exceptional event that will allow us all to be together again! Working closely with the City of Hamburg, ERTICO – ITS Europe and the local health authorities, we are committed to create an event that mitigates risk and creates a safe and controlled environment for you to learn, exhibit and network.

ITS World Congress participants will be required to wear a medical or FPP face mask at all times during the event. This requirement applies to all persons at all areas in the Hamburg Messe and Congress Center and at Congress events in the city. If outside, the mask could be removed when keeping a distance of 1.5m.

The mask must be worn in such a way that the mouth and nose are completely covered preventing the emission of aerosols and droplets. Anyone who does not comply with the obligation to cover their mouth and nose risks being barred from attending the rest of the Congress.

Masks that will not be allowed include Tissue Masks, Cloth Masks and Masks with a valve.
