COVID-19 Policies for the Pauling Medal Symposium:
OHSU firmly believes that vaccination is one of our most important tools to help keep our community well and protected against COVID-19 so we require guests of our events to either fully vaccinated or receive a negative PCR test within 48 hours of the event.
By registering or attending this event, you agree to be in compliance of this policy. Mask-wearing is not mandatory in (non-healthcare location of event), although we recognize some people may feel more comfortable wearing one. While there are many people who may feel ready to take off their mask, there are also many with underlying conditions or a personal preference to continue protecting themselves with masks. Thank you for respecting your colleagues’ personal preferences.
Whether or not you test positive for COVID-19, we urge you to stay home if you have a cough, runny nose (unlike your usual seasonal allergies), headache, fatigue or any other symptom.
