Q: Where can I take a PCR test or an antigen test?
A: We suggest you use the German official website to check this information.

Q: What if I am not vaccinated (or my vaccination certificate will have expired by the time the event starts)?
A: This means you will not have a valid EU DCC. As the venue checks every visitor for a valid EU DCC, you will not be admitted.

Q: What if I have (or will have) only 1 shot administered by the Congress date?
A: This means you will not have a valid EU DCC. As the venue checks every visitor for a valid EU DCC, you will not be admitted. An exception is made for Janssen / Johnson & Johnson (Ad26.COV2.S), as it only requires 1 shot.

Q: What if I recovered from COVID more than 4 months ago, and I am not vaccinated?
A: This means you will not have a valid EU DCC. As the venue checks every visitor for a valid EU DCC, you will not be admitted.

Q: What if my certificate is not valid in EU?
A: If your certificate is not valid in EU, the venue will not be able to accept it, as they admit only the visitors with a valid EU DCC.
