10.6 COVID-19 access to the event

Should the Government require it the event has the right to ask for either proof of vaccination, a pre-event test or evidence of recovery.

An individual is considered fully vaccinated if he/ she has been: a) fully vaccinated, i.e. has received the full regimen of Pfizer-BioNTech/Comirnatry, Moderna or WHO EUL vaccines, with an additional two weeks for the vaccine to be fully effective, b) recovered from COVID-19, or c) has obtained a negative result on a pre-event test taken in the past 24 hours before the expected end of the event.

Information for vaccinated persons

You are regarded as fully vaccinated when you can verify via an official certificate that you have been vaccinated with the required dosage of a vaccine approved at your destination. Please note that authorities set different guidelines for how long ago the last vaccination has to have been given. You can obtain information about the approved vaccines or time periods from the authorities at your destination or under ‘current entry requirements’.

If you are vaccinated with a vaccine that is not accepted in your transfer or destination country, you are considered to be not vaccinated. Thus the requirements for non-vaccinated passengers must be adhered. If you are travelling together with non-vaccinated children please check the rules for them of your transfer and country destination thoroughly.

The following documents, among others, are recognised as proof of a vaccination: 

  • An international vaccination certificate “International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis” (Yellow Card) or other officially issued vaccination records/ vaccination passports/vaccination certificates

  • A vaccination certificate that has been issued to you by the vaccinating authority (loose-leaf)

  • Officially approved digital vaccination certificate. The app-based solutions (in future also integration into the Lufthansa Group airlines’ apps) store the vaccination certificate as a QR-code that can be shown or sent as necessary.

Information for recovered persons

You are regarded as a person who has recovered from Covid-19 if, within the last six months, you have tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 through a PCR test and the test result dates back at least 28 days. If your test date is more than six months ago, as a rule you are no longer regarded as a recovered person. Please find out in good time about the applicable regulations at your transit/destination location. 

As proof that you have recovered from Covid-19 (i.e. have overcome an infection with SARS-CoV-2), you can use the following documents, provided that these are accepted by the authorities of the transit or destination country:

  • Individual-related positive PCR result of a laboratory/testing site or a test centre

  • Medical certificate or isolation attestation, provided these contain details of the type of test and date of test/notification

  • Further certificates from the authorities provided these contain details of the type of test and date of test/notification

  • Official, internationally valid Health Wallets
