COVID-19 prevention steps for Symposium presenters, volunteers and attendees
We are proud to be part of a community that shows compassion and care toward one another. To mitigate against the potential of COVID-19 transmission at this large, indoor event, please consider taking these steps to help keep yourself and others healthy.
-
- You must stay home if you have symptoms of any respiratory infection, even if you are vaccinated. Additionally, stay home if you are symptomatic or have been instructed to isolate or quarantine by a public health official.
- Get vaccinated and boosted — it remains your best way to avoid serious illness, and boosters are widely available.
- Get tested or do a self-test before you present in or attend the Symposium.
- Wear a well-fitted, high-quality mask indoors (e.g., KN95, N95, KF94 and surgical masks) to further reduce the potential for transmission. These types of masks provide you with more protection than a cloth face covering and are available for free in several locations on each campus.
Activate WA Notify on your phone so you can receive exposure notifications and anonymously let others know of their exposure if you test positive.
