COVID-19

 

There are no specific COVID-19 restrictions applicable to the conference. The epidemiological situation in Belgium is currently quite good, and can be monitored here. Nevertheless, we will provide desinfecting hand-gel in all rooms, and monitor the ventilation. The conference rooms are quite large. Mouth masks are not required, but please feel free to wear one if you prefer this. If needed, you can get a surgical mask at the registration desk. If you have symptoms and/or (self-)tested positive, please do not come to the conference.

Generally, in Belgium, if you would need to visit a (medical) doctor or a pharmacy, you will be asked to wear a mouth-nose mask. Most shops offer the possibility to desinfect your hands (and shopping basket) at the entrance.
