Given the current pandemic, I'm concerned about attending a large conference and potentially being infected by a highly contagious virus. What measures can I take to avoid being infected?

Attending a large conference is a challenging situation due to the potential of coming into contact with someone who is infected. In order to reduce the risk of infection, it is important to practice good hand hygiene, wear a face mask where applicable, be mindful of body contact and social distancing, keep an eye on travelers coming from affected areas and avoid gatherings with large numbers of people whenever possible. If going to the event is unavoidable, attending only certain parts or staying up-to-date with proceedings via audio visual media can help reduce contact with others in attendance while still getting access to the content. Moreover it is important ensure you have adequate supplies and medication for self care if necessary following exposure.

To help prevent the potential spread of the pandemic virus, it’s best to practice social distancing whenever possible. Avoid large crowds, wear a face mask when going out in public, practice good hand hygiene frequently and disinfect frequently touched items regularly. Additionally, if you are attending a large conference and are concerned about catching the virus, try to limit your contact with others and stay out of crowded areas. It may also be a good idea to monitor news sources for updates or plan to attend off-site events that have fewer attendees.
