Registration for Sept. 4’s Sun Moon Lake International Swimming Carnival, the world’s largest open-water mass participation swimming event, opens on Friday, the Nantou County Government said yesterday.
Spots for this year’s event are capped at 20,000, the county government said.
The carnival was canceled last year due to COVID-19 restrictions.
Nantou Deputy Commissioner Chen Cheng-sheng (陳正昇) said that participants must follow certain rules this year, including having received three doses of a COVID-19 vaccine if aged 12 or older.
Children aged eight to 11 only need to have received two COVID-19 vaccine doses, Chen said, adding that the inoculations must be completed before July
