Special Measures

• Each category will be assigned to a designated gathering time. Participants from other categories will not be allowed to enter the Tower.

• If participants show COVID-19 symptoms, such as a fever, they may be asked to leave the event and his/her qualifications would be forfeited; the donations that have been raised will also not be refunded.

• All participants and staff who have had their temperature checked will have a wristband on their wrist for identification.
• Each participant will be given a ‘Ready Go Hygiene Kit’, which contains gloves for holding the stair railings during the race, wrist towels, rubbing alcohol, and other items. All participants should use them during event.
• Participants are recommended to use wrist towels if possible and avoid touching the railings and other items with their bare hands.
• During the race, participants may need to use both hands to hold the railing to run up. Participants are recommended to use the gloves provided by the Organiser.
• The venue will be separated into designated areas. For example, participants and staff are able to enter the start point area; relatives, friends, the media and spectators will need to stay in other designated surrounding areas.
• The Organiser will control the flow of participants who enter the venue and limit the number of visitors to 50 per cent or less than the capacity of the venue. Entries to entrance will be closed to reduce crowds. Participants will be asked to line up in an open area and will need to keep at least one arm's length away from others.
• In order to avoid unnecessary gatherings, participants should leave the finish area as soon as possible after finishing the race.
•  After participants have crossed the finish line, participants will not receive a medal on the spot but will need to pick it up in another designated area.
• Masks and hand sanitizer will be provided at the elevator entrance for participants to use, and the elevator buttons will be disinfected every half hour.
• There will be marks on the elevator floor to ensure all maintain a safe distance. In order to avoid gatherings, the ceremony will be simplified, and the awards will be given after the event.
• If a large number of participants or staff show symptoms of COVID-19, the Organiser will notify the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. For guidelines on the matter, please refer to: https://www.ssm.gov.mo/PreventCOVID-19.
