The health, safety and well-being of all those participating in and attending PDAC Convention is the top priority for hosting a successful event. The pathway to achieving this is to adhere to all Canadian and local government laws, implement appropriate health and safety measures in consultation with healthcare authorities and experts, and apply best practices as required at the date of the in person event. We understand that these requirements may evolve, and will ensure all attendees are kept informed of any new developments.

1.   Daily self-screening for symptoms is RECOMMENDED

  • Participants are encouraged to self-screen daily (review the list of symptoms here)
  • If you have any symptoms (even if mild), it is recommended that you stay home (self-isolate) while you are sick
  • Stay home until you have no fever and your symptoms are improving for at least 24 hours (48 hours if you have gastrointestinal symptoms)
  • After isolating, wear a well-fitted, high quality mask when out in public for 10 days from when your symptoms started
  • Follow these steps whether you have tested for COVID-19 or not

 2.  Face masks are RECOMMENDED

  • Participants are expected to provide their own face masks

3.  Frequent cleaning and disinfecting of frequently touched surfaces
