covid-19 mitigations
the 英格兰vs美国谁会赢？ has planned a set of mitigations against covid-19 at our in-person events. council members and members of the virus division, including paul kellam (former council member), gill elliott (council member), stephen griffin (former chair of virus division), jo parish (chair of virus division), matthew reeves (chair elect of virus division) and elly gaunt (virus division member), have worked with society staff to develop a framework of mitigations for the society to apply to all of its events throughout 2022, in order to ensure that these are as covid-secure as possible.
implementation of this framework is a shared responsibility; shared between the society, the venues we use for our events, and all potential attendees. attendance at any of our events is a personal choice, but it will be incumbent on all of us to deliver these mitigations in order for us to keep our delegates, members, and staff as safe as we can.
the framework covers the following five areas.
- vaccines
- ventilation
- masks
- testing
- spacing, particularly during communal activities such as lunch and poster sessions
the following mitigations will be implemented for all those attending roadshow events. in the run up to the roadshow, these mitigations have been reviewed by the society’s council to ensure they remain appropriate.
