To give a chance to as many jazz lovers as possible to participate in this year's concerts, the organizers decided that access to the festival should be done based on the vaccination certificate, negative PCR and antigen tests, and the certificate of COVID-19 antibodies. There will also be the option to take free rapid tests at the clinics recommended by the organizers.
