Important information to know to enter the IMD premises:

Participant travelling from overseas who need a negative PCR test to travel, and provided that the test remains valid on Monday 25 April, will need to bring their PCR certificate at the FEI Welcome Desk to enter the venue.

If the PCR test is no longer valid on Monday 25 April or if you did not need a test to travel, you will need to do a self-test on the same morning.
To minimize the logistics at the venue, you will receive self-tests directly at your hotel to allow you to perform the test on Monday morning and Tuesday morning. We would encourage you to conduct these tests at your hotel.
Please take your negative test with you and show it at the FEI Welcome Desk to enter the premises.

If you are unable or unwilling to perform the self-test at your hotel, there will be testing facilities at the venue. However, should you choose that option, we encourage you to come as early as 8.00 at the IMD in order to ensure that everybody is tested in time for FEI Sports Forum start at 9.00.

In case you did not book a hotel room through the registration system, please either come earlier at the venue and we will provide you with a self-test or buy a self-test in a pharmacy and conduct it before coming. Please do take the test with you to enter IMD.

We kindly ask you to follow the guidelines outlined above and thank you for your understanding.
