SSA is committed to preserving the health and safety of our conference attendees. We understand there are differing comfort levels in regards to COVID-19 precautions; however, we are choosing a more cautious route to best protect ourselves and others. Please observe our COVID-19 policies during all sessions and social events:
- GET VACCINATED AND BOOSTED
- Vaccination against COVID-19 is strongly recommended. Attendees willing to show their vaccination card at registration will receive a *FREE* SLOTTO ticket!
- If you have not been fully vaccinated AND boosted, please reconsider attending this year’s meeting.
- GET TESTED
- If possible, get tested for COVID-19 within 72 hours of the start of the meeting, and only attend if the test is negative.
- WEAR A MASK
- Attendees (vaccinated AND unvaccinated) should remain masked at all times, unless actively eating or drinking.
- Masks must be worn over the nose and mouth.
- Current science recommends an N95 or KN95/KF94 mask for the best protection; if you do not have one of these masks, we will provide one during registration.
- BE FLEXIBLE
- We may have to make changes to our policies along the way. Social distancing indoors is encouraged; outdoor areas for gathering will be available as weather permits.
