Health and Safety Regulations at ESMO Events
It is each participant's responsibility to check and comply with the latest health and travel regulations (see here for Valencia and here for Naples) to ensure a smooth and safe journey from the Country of origin to the event venue, and back.
During the event, ESMO will apply health and safety protocols according to the latest local authority guidelines and regulations.
In general, ESMO recommends:
- To apply health precautions and measures according to formal guidance and personal medical history
- To stay up to date with the vaccination status
- To perform a Rapid Antigen Test and wear a mask in case of symptoms
Hand sanitisers will be available throughout the venue; the use of mask is at own discretion in the absence of symptoms.
