We will follow all required federal, state, and local guidelines to make sure the meeting is as safe as possible. The organizing committee, in coordination with NSF program officers, will carefully monitor the situation and adjust recommended safety precautions as necessary based on the latest information.
We will follow the UW COVID-19 policy and guidance updates:
- Face coverings are strongly recommended
- Quarantine is no longer required after close contact with a person who has COVID-19.
- Self-monitoring for symptoms required daily (no reporting): Do not come to work or class, and follow instructions on the flowchart if you experience COVID-19 symptoms that are not attributable to another condition.
- Reporting a positive test result to the UW is required.
- Testing: Get tested if you develop symptoms
All participants should monitor their own health status each morning before the meeting as well as during the meeting. Should you not feel well, please remain in/return to your hotel room.
If you experience symptoms associated with COVID-19, consider taking a self-test and/or visiting a nearby testing site. Anyone testing positive should refrain from re-entering the meeting space for the duration of the meeting and follow CDC guidance regarding care, isolating, and contact tracing. We will have a limited amount of self-tests available on-site.
