BEFORE THE SHOW

STAY UP TO DATE

We will be providing updates to those attending the Expo. The measures outlined below are advice from the WA Government, when we were in Phase 1 and may not be applicable to date. We will adhere to the guidelines given by the WA Government on Expo day.

HAVE SYMPTOMS? - DON'T ATTEND

COVID-19 affects different people in different ways. Most infected people will develop mild to moderate illness and recover without hospitalization. The symptoms of COVID-19 are very similar to the symptoms you have if you have a cold with the most common symptoms being fever, dry cough and tiredness. Less common symptoms include aches and pains, sore throat, diarrhoea, conjunctivitis, headache, loss of taste or smell a rash on skin or discolouration of fingers or toes.
If you are exhibiting any of these symptoms, please don't come to the Mingenew Midwest Expo and seek medical advice as soon as you can.

CONTACT TRACING

To comply with our COVID plan we need to have a registration system upon entry so that if an outbreak occurs, contact tracing can take place and WA Health can get in touch with everyone who was at the show on a given day. We will use several methods to enforce this registration system.

SAFEWA REGISTRATION - Everyone must scan this SafeWA QR code each day that you are coming to Mingenew Midwest Expo grounds.
MANUAL REGISTRATION - At the gate upon entry if you do not scan the SafeWA app on your phone you will be required to complete the SafeWA registration slip and provide us with your name, phone number. There will be a secure box to place this slip into inside the gate.

Important note to those working on grounds during bump in & bump out:
