2. Wear face masks: Depending on the guidelines and regulations in place, visitors may be required to wear face masks or face coverings in certain settings or when social distancing is not possible.

3. Maintain social distancing: Visitors should practice physical distancing by keeping at least a recommended distance (e.g., 6 feet or 2 meters) from others who are not part of their household or travel group.

4. Follow capacity limits: Visitors may be required to adhere to capacity limits set by the authorities in certain establishments to ensure physical distancing.

5. Follow specific guidelines for facilities or attractions: Different places may have specific guidelines in place, such as one-way systems, limited access to certain areas, or additional safety measures for specific attractions or facilities.

6. Stay updated: Visitors should stay informed about the latest safety guidelines and regulations issued by health authorities, local governments, or the establishment itself. It is important to be aware of any changes or restrictions that may affect their visit.

These guidelines are subject to change, so it is important for visitors to stay informed and follow the specific guidelines provided by the appropriate authorities or organizations.
