Please contact the event organizers to learn what they are doing to keep event attendees safe and healthy. What you should know before you go? Before you purchase your ticket or head to an event, it is important to understand the health guidelines and entry requirements. Event Organizers have adopted to ensure the safe return of live events. What is a Health Check? Health Checks are safety protocols instituted by Event Organizers to help reduce attendee exposure to COVID-19. Sulekha does not set or control Health Check guidelines, which is why different events you see in our marketplace may have different protocols. While specific requirements vary across venues and events, some common measures may include, but are not limited to: proof of full vaccination against COVID-19, proof of a negative COVID-19 diagnostic test result prior to entering the event, a rapid onsite COVID-19 test, or participating in a brief health questionnaire. Who decides if a Health Check is required? In partnership with local health departments and government guidelines, the Event Organizer monitors local COVID-19 trends and determines if Health Checks will be required to attend an event. In some instances, an Event Organizer may choose to exceed protocols mandated by local governments. Check with your Event Organizer to know the updates and guidelines. Is Sulekha requiring proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 diagnostic test for entry? No, Sulekha does not set or control Health Check guidelines. Certain Event Organizers are opting to require entry qualifications for fans to attend their event. Additionally, some state and local governments are mandating Event Organizers to require health checks at entry. Check with your Event Organizer to know the updates and guidelines. I am ineligible for vaccination due to underlying health conditions, am I unable to attend an event requiring vaccination? Most Event Organizers requiring Health Checks will ask unvaccinated fans over 12 years old with a valid medical restriction & medical note to take a COVID-19 diagnostic test and provide proof of negative result prior to entering the venue. To know further details regarding the health checks and guidelines, please contact the Event organizers. You can also locate free testing in your area by using this helpful resource developed by the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
