"It is important to be able to have biosafety protocols, to be able to talk about physical distancing, you can use stickers on the floor, as well as transparent partitions so that people do not have direct contact. You can also make tours inside the pavilions and have control of flow of visitors. Easy recognition and control of the temperature of visitors at the entrance. These are, among other recommended measures, that should be encouraged and enforced. "
