Safe Management Measures

The well-being and safety of the NAFA community, graduands and guests is the academy’s top priority. We wish to remind all graduands and guests to exercise individual and social responsibility to protect themselves and the community. Please adhere to the following Safe Management Measures:

• With the removal of the legal requirement for mask wearing in indoor settings with effect from 29 August 2022, mask wearing by graduands and guests at the ceremony venue will be optional.
• Monitor your health and self-test using the Antigen Rapid Test (ART) if you are *symptomatic.
• Graduands who prefer to wear a mask during the ceremony, may unmask momentarily when receiving the certificate folder and during photo taking with the presenter, on stage.
• To minimise contact, there will not be any handshake with the presenter on stage.

* The symptoms of COVID-19 infection are similar to that of an acute respiratory infection or pneumonia. These symptoms include fever, cough, runny nose, sore throat, loss of taste or smell.
