1) a negative PCR test administered by a medical provider/official testing center no earlier than 72 hours before the time of their performance.

OR

2) a negative rapid antigen test administered by a medical provider/official testing center no earlier than 24 hours prior to the time of their performance. Home testing kit results will not be accepted for entry.
