Extra measures are being implemented for Dairy-Tech 2022 held on February 2, to ensure it is Covid-secure.
In line with the latest government Covid-19 regulations, visitors to Dairy-Tech must show a Covid pass on entry to prove they are either fully vaccinated or have tested negative.
Masks must be worn at the event, with sanitiser stations provided throughout the venue.
The event will be going ahead unless government regulations restrict it from happening.
Matthew Knight, Royal Association of British Dairy Farmers (RABDF) managing director, said:
“We are fortunate the facilities at Stoneleigh Park provide adequate space for people to social distance, as well as all the halls having excellent ventilation.
As a result, the event can run safely, provided all visitors adhere to the government guidelines and regulations. This is why we will not permit entry for any visitors failing to show a Covid-19 Pass.”
The NHS Covid Pass can be obtained digitally through the NHS App or the online NHS Covid Pass service.
