The non-vaccinated attendees must attend the event with the mask on and the venue must provide the masks to the attendees. 

    The event organisers must encourage the attendees to use the CA notify to get a warning text if they have been in contact with someone who has contracted the disease. 

    In order to prove their vaccination status, people can bring either original or a photocopy of the CDC card they get when they are vaccinated or bring a photo of it on their phones. They can also bring the verification document from a healthcare service providers. 

    In order to verify the negative test, people can show the document they get from laboratories or show the emails where they receive their test report. The report must contain the name, type of the test, date, and status of the test. 

    The restriction to verify the negative test report and vaccine certificate must be placed by October 2021.
