Disclaimer
Risk assessments should be conducted for all mass gatherings, based on the
country strategy for controlling COVID-19 and should be updated periodically in
light of new information, as it becomes available.
While WHO may provide advice and technical guidance to host countries on
public health risks, the WHO has no decision power to uphold, postpone, or
cancel mass gatherings hosted by Member States.
