COVID-19 Information

On this page, we want to inform you about the current plan to ensure that the IARC 2021 location will be a safe place during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Currently, the regulations in Luxembourg allow for conducting events like the IARC when ensuring that all participants are

1. either fully vaccinated against COVID-19,
2. or fully recovered from a COVID-19 infection,
3. or can prove a current negative COVID-19 test.

Based on this current status, we are optimistic that we can do a live conference under more or less reasonable conditions. The following measures are currently planned to be implemented at the IARC 2021:

• All participants that cannot provide evidence of being fully vaccinated or having recovered fully from a COVID-19 infection will be required to perform a daily COVID-19 antigen test before entering the conference location. Only with a negative test result will access be granted. We will set up a testing station at the entrance of the conference location.
• There will be 20-minute breaks between all presentations, discussions, workshops. During this time, the rooms will be ventilated, and there will be enough time to move between the rooms and keep a distance from other participants.
• The duration for the meals has been extended to avoid long queues at the food counter.
• Hand disinfectant stations will be set up across the conference location.
• The stalls will be set up with more distance between each and the size of the stalls will be restricted.
• Since the location outside of the conference rooms is accessible to the general public in the afternoon, in these areas, the distance rules and face mask rules apply after 4:30 pm each day. Before 4:30 pm the distance rules and face mask rules don't apply anywhere at the conference location.
