Bani Bandana Covid protocol

Please note the following for the Covid protocol we would be following at the Bani Bandana event

Checkin / Front desk:

Vaccination proof will be checked (digital or hard copies – both shots) at the front desk for everyone aged 5 and above. If you are not vaccinated (and are aged 5 and above), you will need to show a negative Covid test taken within the last 3 days (we cannot accept home tests results since we need proof from a certified medical authority)
No on-the-spot registrations for non-members. Members who did not register on the app will still be allowed entry
Our front desk volunteers will be sitting behind the front desk shields and wearing gloves while serving the patrons with their entry and food tickets

Masks policy:

We will require everyone to keep their masks on always except: (1) When having lunch at designated lunch tables (2) When performing for the cultural program in the designated stage area
We will keep some KN95 masks at the front desk, for guests who want to use them (e.g., instead of their cloth masks)
There will be no taking masks off for pictures. Please don’t mind us if we politely nudge you to put your masks back on if found guilty 🙂

Proshad and Lunch distribution

Proshad will be served by volunteers wearing serving gloves, in Ziploc bags, and at the back side of the venue
Lunch will be served by volunteers wearing serving gloves, in pre-packed boxes, and at the back side of the venue
Lunch to be consumed only at the back where we will have some tables and chairs. Please have lunch only at these tables and not elsewhere in the venue
If the tables are occupied, please wait for them to be vacated. If you’d rather not wait, we request that you take your lunch to your cars
There will be some standing tables at the back as well. Families are encouraged to be together at those tables

We will be doing pushpanjali in 3-4 batches to avoid over-crowding
Face Mask is mandatory while offering Pushpanjali
