A declaration on their current health situation has to be signed by all and submitted at the security gate before entering (Pre-printed forms will be available at the gate).
The Club has advised the participants to check themselves before arriving at MMRT. If they are showing symptoms from before, they have been advised to stay at home. They have also been advised to carry their personal requirements such as their water bottles, hand sanitizer and Handkerchief.and asked to maintain social distance at all times.
