Clean show that thoroughly protects against COVID-19!
In this year's show, the optimal
K-Quarantine system will be implemented to take the safety of the exhibitors
and visitors as the top priority to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Based on
the experience of safely hosting KIMES Busan 2020 at BEXCO last October, this
show will be held by following the government's social distancing policy and
flexible handling of the event according to how the circumstances change.
The entrance and exit of the exhibition
hall will be strictly controlled, and a thorough quarantine procedure will be
taken. When a temperature of 37.5 degrees or higher is detected by a thermal
imaging camera or a facial recognition heat sensor, the visitor will take a
second measurement with a non-contact thermometer, and the decision to enter or
not will be made there. When entering, a full body disinfectant gate and hand
sanitizer will be used, and all individuals will be required to wear disposable
masks. Security guards to check the wearing of masks and the safety of the show
will be placed in the exhibition hall.
Also, according to the quarantine system in
the exhibition hall, the path of exhibition will be strictly controlled and
social distancing between the visitors will be kept to minimize the contact to
prevent infection. The air conditioning facility will run every hour for
ventilation and the exhibition hall will be disinfected twice a day.
Various events and auxiliary events for a new business environment in the new normal era!
The exhibition will be divided into
Treatment and Medical Information Pavilion in Hall A, Healthcare &
Rehabilitation Pavilion in Hall B/D and Grand Ballroom, Test and Diagnosis
Equipment Pavilion in Hall C, and Diagnosis and Hospital Facility Pavilion in
Hall D.
As the field of medical devices expands to
AI, deep learning, and robot science in addition to the existing medical device
and the interest for the advanced parts and materials grows, MedicomteK 2021
(Medical Device Parts & Materials Technology Exhibition) will be held at
COEX Hall D as a concurrent event, fully prepared to control COVID-19.
