Please take responsibility and make the difference to help the mitigation of the spread of COVID-19 (#FlattenTheCurve).

Social distance is a proven method of decreasing the spread rate of SARS-CoV-2, the virus causing the COVID-19 pandemia.

Though conference organizers may be reluctant to cancel their events, be aware that the virus may be contageous even before people show relevant symptoms. Infected people may not be aware of their infection, nor is a fever detectable in early stages. 

Consider your travel plans and ask yourself whether a physical meeting is required. Is a tele-attendance possible or an online-meeting instead?
In any case contact the event organizer for updates and potential assistance in case of cancellation

For the most up-to-date information regarding the virus, please refer to the World Health Organization and regional Health Offices.
