Luxembourg's Ministry of Health has provided clarification on the subject of required COVID-19 testing before events with more than 150 attendees.

The health concepts validated by the National Health Directorate provide the following three options for people obliged to get tested before such an event:

- present a negative PCR test result no older than 72 hours before the start of the event;

- present the negative result of a test or self-test certified by a person authorised for this purpose under the COVID-19 law. The test must be performed within 24 hours of the start of the event;

- carry out a self-test on site, and under the supervision of the organiser, the result of which must be negative.

Self-tests not certified by an authorised person or which are not carried out under the supervision of the event organiser will not be accepted.
