the G7 Summit is fully COVID-secure.</p><p>The roll-out of Covid-19 vaccines is being

involved in the Summit, including police officers, will undergo regular testing. Venues
will be configured to enable social distancing, and face coverings and other measures

for all of those on the frontline and continue to work with the police to ensure officers
receive the essential equipment they need in order to carry out their jobs safely.</p>
