Eurovision 2021 – Covid-19 Health & Safety Regulations

This year’s Eurovision Song Contest (Semi Finals & Grand Final) is being held at the AHOY Arena in Rotterdam.

In accordance with current Dutch Government guidelines there will be a limited audience of 3,500 people in the Arena (20% of the normal capacity). This is part of a test programme for events being carried out in the Netherlands, just as they are in the UK.

All members of the audience have to follow strict health & safety rules and must present a negative Covid test certificate upon arrival. On production of this they do not need to wear a mask or distance when in their seat.

For artists, crew and media there are very strict Covid-19 health and safety measures whilst in Rotterdam (both at the arena and in their hotel accommodation), and whilst travelling to and from the Ahoy arena. There is also an extensive testing programme in place for all crew, press, artists and national delegations.

All members of the UK delegation will be following these protocols throughout out their time in Rotterdam and on their return to the UK.
