This convening is open to all invitees who are compliant with UChicago vaccination requirements and, because of ongoing health risks, particularly to the unvaccinated, participants are expected to adopt the risk mitigation measures (masking and social distancing, etc.) appropriate to their vaccination status as advised by public health officials or to their individual vulnerabilities as advised by a medical professional. Public convening may not be safe for all and carries a risk for contracting COVID-19, particularly for those unvaccinated. Participants will not know the vaccination status of others and should follow appropriate risk mitigation measures. It is recommended that any individual that is confirmed to have COVID-19, has been exposed to a person with COVID-19 (if not recently vaccinated or boosted), and/or is exhibiting any type of COVID-19 related symptom should avoid all in-person activities.
