About these guidelines
We have established these guidelines, based on "Exhibition Industry Guidelines for Preventing the Spread of COVID - 19 Infection" created by the Japan Exhibition Association and "The Osaka Convention & Tourism Bureau" "Guidelines for MICE Event Organizers for Infectious Disease Control" in order to prevent the spread of COVID-19 infection during the trade fair period.
In order to take all possible measures for trade fairs, 1.[Infection control measures to be taken by the organizer] 2.[Infection prevention measures to be taken by exhibitors] 3.[Infection control measures addressed to visitors] are specified. We ask that you read these guidelines and to cooperate with infection prevention measures.
These guidelines are as of 19 July, 2022. The content of these guidelines may be reviewed and revised as necessary based upon the advice of experts and changes in infection rates.

Organizers should plan the venue structure and site operation to reduce as far as possible crowding of exhibitors and visitors so as to prevent infection, which are 1）Closed spaces with poor ventilation 2）Crowded places with many people nearby 3）Close-contact setting such as close-range conversations, and publicize the specific measures to the attendees (e.g. exhibitors, visitors, relevant parties, and supporting companies) and make efforts so the attendees would comply thoroughly with the measures.

Infectious Disease Measures Guideline
- Request to install the COVID-19 Contact-Confirming Application (COCOA)
-
The contact-confirming application is a smartphone app that enables you to receive notifications about the possibility of contact with someone infected with COVID-19. This app uses the short-range communication function (Bluetooth) on smartphones upon user approval to receive notifications about the possibility of contact with a person who has tested positive for COVID-19, while ensuring anonymity for your privacy. Users can receive support, such as testing from a public health centre , sooner, by knowing that they might have been in contact with someone who has tested positive. The more users, the more effective it will be in preventing the spread of infection.
