COVID 19 INFO

 

We are operating under the agreed protocols described under “Guidance documents for the Safe Operations of Cinemas during COVID-19”. All patrons over the age of 18 attending cinema must be fully vaccinated and provide a covid certificate with photo ID or have recovered from COVID-19 within the previous 6 months. Minors aged between 12-17 must show proof of immunity if they are unaccompanied. If accompanied by an adult, the accompanying adult must be able to provide proof of immunity and photo ID

The Covid-19 proof of immunity check and accompanying ID check point must be a defined, managed,
and supervised entrance point with an appropriate queue management system within the cinema (at
entrance to premises or as near to the entrance as possible) or at point of entry to the auditoria
areas, this entrance point must be controlled by suitably competent staff who have been adequately
instructed in the process.
The checking process may include
• Presentation to staff at the controlled entrance of each ticketholders Proof of Immunity
• Scanning and confirming validity of the vaccination or recovered status of each customer
using the EU Digital Covid Certificate Checker or other validation of Proof of Immunity
prescribed in regulations.
• A requirement to cross-check the name on the documentation with Photo ID*
*Acceptable forms of I.D include:

issued by or on behalf of the State or a state other than the State.
The cinema must ensure every ticketholder 18 or over has the relevant proof of immunity to prove
they are fully vaccinated or recovered from COVID-19. If they believe a customer, who claims to be a
minor, is 18 or over, they should ask for proof of age. Under 18s without proof of immunity must be
accompanied by a parent/guardian who have Proof of Immunity.
Operators may refuse access where people cannot offer proof of immunity or recovery or cannot
demonstrate that their certificate relates to them. If operators do not operate on this basis, they may
be liable for fines or closure.

accompanied by an adult, the accompanying adult must be able to provide proof of immunity photo
