The key steps to creating a safe bubble environment…
Step 1
Secure regulatory approval for COVID-19 testing in each location
We contact and liaise with relevant regulatory bodies and, where possible, also secure waiver of quarantine rules for overseas visitors.
Step 2
Define the location and perimeter of each bubble via a site visit
We work with you to understand your locations, entry and exit points and testing laboratory location.
Step 3
Define the personnel for each safe bubble
We agree with you the personnel who should be in the safe bubble, from actors to hotel staff, crew, drivers & security and extras.
Step 4
Set-out testing regime for each category with input from in-country Medical Officer
Testing prior to entry:
Typically required 7 days and 3 days before entry.
Testing frequency for each category:
High contact groups require testing 2-3 times per week. Lower contact groups only require testing once a week.
Other protection methods:
A daily symptom checker and temperature check.
Step 5
Determining optimum testing facilities
Mobile lab in each location versus couriering to a fixed laboratory – this will depend on the timing of each event, vicinity of each location and turnaround time requirements.
Step 6
Determine who is providing each service element
We manage swab sampling, registration, accreditation, access control and negative results reporting.
Positive results management:
We provide access to a panel of expert virologists, manage doctor-patient communication and contact tracing at the event, and report into the local Public Health system.
