The Shanghai Municipal Commission of Commerce issued a notice and a guideline on organizing convention and exhibition activities under strict epidemic prevention and control on May 11, which means that offline exhibitions in Shanghai will restart in an orderly manner.

According to the guideline, before an exhibition, the organizers should use online and offline channels to carry out real-name registration, collect information from participants in time, and establish an information database. Also, the organizers should strengthen online services for overseas exhibitors and visitors, and provide convenience for them to trade and negotiate through cloud and online exhibitions.

During exhibitions, organizers should implement real-name admission systems for all participants through online appointments and certificate management. The density of crowds should be strictly controlled, with special personnel assigned to monitor crowd situations in real time to ensure emergency exits are available.

In addition, organizers should set up medical service points at exhibition sites, reserve supplies of necessary drugs and protective materials, and provide on-site emergency medical services.
