Keeping you Safe - 124th IATP Conference

Sanitary Measures

Keep yourself and fellow delegates safe by following the below rules:

1	Do not enter if you are experiencing Covid-19 symptoms such as a continuous cough or change in your normal sense of taste or smell;
2	Avoid handshakes, embraces, and business cards;
3	Wash and sanitize your hands regularly: IATP will provide additional hand sanitizer in the welcome bags and Tivoli Hotel & Congress Center will place hand sanitizing points around the conference floor;
4	Follow the recommended 1-meter social distancing: Floorplans have been adjusted, aisles have been widened to allow for adequate crowd distribution and avoid bottlenecks. Please do not gather at entrances and cause traffic jams; if an entrance is crowded, please take advantage of a lobby networking area until the crowd disperses. Please follow the guidance, respect the space of others at the Conference, and do not move or adjust placement of any seats/tables;
5	Please clear all conference rooms at the end of each session and each day for enhanced cleaning and disinfection to take place. Please help us expedite this process by exiting rooms promptly;
6	Wear a mask wherever possible: while it is not anymore mandatory to wear a face mask in Denmark, IATP encourages you to wear a face mask in the Conference space, wherever possible and particularly in crowded spaces and in proximity of food counters.

IATP will enhance the safety by implementing the following measures:

7	Mandatory mass screening through antigen rapid testing of all participants prior to registration;
8	Mandatory temperature screening performed on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday;
9	Enhanced personal protection equipment (including masks, gloves, sanitizing products, and shields) for the Conference Secretaries;
10	Limit of delegates’ number in all meeting rooms, including the secretariat; Signs will clearly indicate the maximum room capacity;
11	More frequent cleaning and sanitization of conference areas in partnership with the Tivoli Hotel & Congress Center;
12	Limitation in sharing documents hardcopies;
13	Mandatory hand sanitizing before entering the food areas and encouraged wearing of the mask in proximity of food counters.

Testing Opportunities

As you may be aware of, all the Coronavirus restrictions, except entry rules, are waived in Denmark since September 10, 2021. However, considering the worldwide coverage of the conference participants, as an extra safety measure we will provide an easy-access antigen rapid testing service to all participants on arrival at the conference and before getting access to the conference space. Rapid tests have been shown to be 95% effective at detecting Covid-19 when used at the onset of symptoms according to a study by the Queen Mary University of London.
The initial mass screening by rapid test (STANDARD Q COVID-19 Ag Test) will be followed by a series of precautionary measures, including body temperature screenings.

The rapid testing service will be set up in meeting room “Akvariet 4 & 5” on the following days:

• Saturday 07:00 - 17:30
• Sunday 07:30 - 12:00
• Monday 06:30 - 09:30

The tests will be conducted by nurses from Medical Copenhagen and results will be delivered within 15 minutes.
Participants showing a negative test will receive an SMS which will need to be shown at the Conference Secretariat entrance to receive a wristband. The wristband will enable the participants to pick up their badge and should be worne on all conference days. Participants’ guests should follow the same process to pick up their badge.

During the conference days, in case of symptoms, antigen rapid tests will also be available at the Secretariat in meeting room “Harlekin”.
