This regulation enables a <strong>largely unrestricted trade fair experience<\/strong> - even without a mask - with maximum protection against infection.<\/p><p>In a video interview with packaging journal <strong>Sylke Schulz-Metzner, Vice President SPS at organiser Mesago<\/strong>, about this opportunity. \u201eI think that's great.
