“VDS+Test” protocol
While physical concerts are currently allowed, guests had to follow vaccination-differentiated safe management measures (VDS).
On Nov. 16, Marina Bay Sands announced in a Facebook post that the concert piloted the “VDS+Test” protocol, where all attendees had to be fully vaccinated and provide a valid negative Pre-Event Test (PET).
Lin also reminded fans to "please remember to do your PET before coming" in his social media posts on Nov. 24.On-site testing is available as MBS and each PET costs S$40. Guests will receive their test results within 30 minutes via SMS.
Throughout the concert, fans had to be fully masked and observe prevailing Safe Management Measures (SMMs).
While they were not allowed to take off their masks or eat and drink during the event, they also did not have to sit 1m apart from one another, as capacity limits and zoning requirements were eased.
