We would like to ask members of the public to follow the guidelines from the staff.

Most importantly:

1. Use antiseptic before sitting on chairs (whether it is your own or the venue's).

2. Do not move the chairs from where they have been placed. They have been placed according to the measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

The safety and health of everyone is the number one priority.
