All Forum participants, media representatives and staff who will be present at events must take a PCR test for COVID-19 at a dedicated Forum testing centre operated by Rospotrebnadzor.

One PCR test to access the Forum venue must be taken no earlier than 07:00 on 27 June (GMT+3) and no later than 24 hours before visiting the Forum venue. Test result is valid for visiting the venue until the end of the Forum.

Results will be upload to the Forum information system automatically. Results of tests taken at other laboratories will NOT be accepted for access to the venue.

When taking a PCR test you must provide your Forum participant ID. Before visiting a testing centre, please find out your Forum participant ID number (available in the personal web office) and take your passport with you.

If a test is not associated with a participant ID it will not be possible to send the test results to the Accreditation Centre in order to activate the badge for attendance at the event.

Results of tests taken at other laboratories will NOT be accepted for access to the venue.
