Roadmap to OEB 2021

To enter OEB this year you need to present the following documents on every day at the entrance:

  • A photo ID
  • Your OEB name badge either printed at home or the digital version to print it on-site
  • A proof of recovery or full vaccination – if uploaded beforehand, the confirmation mail as we will share with you on Tuesday, November 30
  • And a negative antigen test. This can either be a PCR test not older than 72 hours or a rapid antigen test not older than 24 hours.
