(b)to clearly delineate the boundaries of each segregation zone in a substantially unbroken manner by means of any of the following:

(c)to allow not more than one segregation cohort to enter the worshippers’ area to attend the religious gathering at the venue at any time;
(d)to ensure that any worshipper allocated to a segregation cohort for the religious gathering does not, during the crowd management period of that religious gathering, join another segregation cohort for that same religious gathering; and
(e)to establish and apply procedures or controls so as —
(i)to ensure that a worshipper allocated to a segregation cohort does not physically interact with another worshipper allocated to another segregation cohort when they enter or leave the worshippers’ area; and
