Tips for a Healthier Conference

Please help us make CNS 2020 a healthier conference for everyone by keeping in mind a few tips:

1. Skip the handshake: Try an elbow bump, head nod, bow, or air fist bump. 
2. Wash hands frequently: Use soap and warm water. If a sink is not immediately available, look for a hand sanitizing station in the conference center.
3. Avoid touching your face: This includes your eyes, nose, and mouth.
4. Cough or sneeze into an elbow or a disposable tissue: But really, if you are not feeling well (including have a fever, cough, and/or sneezing), avoid coming into contact with people or coming into talks. And please seek medical care or help from a conference organizer if needed. 
5. Avoid touching surfaces unnecessarily: Think about using your knuckles instead of your fingertips for pushing buttons and using paper towels or tissues for opening doors after washing your hands. 

If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to the conference personnel on site. Our meeting team is working hard to keep the conference space clean and healthy. We appreciate your help and hope you have a wonderful meeting!
