CSG East advocates following current New Hampshire Department of Health COVID guidelines, and the current meeting venues and hotels’ rules for COVID mitigation. CSG East is committed to providing a safe and healthy environment for all 2022 Annual Meeting participants and staff. Although the rates of COVID-19 may be declining in some areas at the time of this meeting, it is still a major health concern especially as our participants will be traveling from states and territories where transmission risk may be higher. To reduce the risk of becoming infected or spreading infection, we are asking that all attendees, unless contraindicated, be fully vaccinated including boosters if eligible. In addition, masking is strongly recommended regardless of vaccine status when: 1) indoors except when eating, drinking, or presenting; 2) outdoors in groups when physical distancing is not possible. Physical distancing, especially when unmasked or indoors, is another important safety measure. Special care should be taken by those at higher risk or those caring for young children or more vulnerable adults.
