ESMO COVID-19 Regulations
Each participant needs to check and comply with the latest health and travel regulations (see here for Valencia and here for Naples) to ensure a fast and easy journey.
ESMO requires that all attendees are fully vaccinated against Covid-19 OR recovered in the last 6 months with at least one dose of a vaccine by the time of the meeting. Vaccination proof will not be checked by ESMO.
Additionally, we strongly recommend:
- Testing for Covid-19 within 48 hours prior to the inbound trip with a molecular, rapid antigen or self-test. The result will not be checked by ESMO
- Wearing a face mask in closed spaces
- Avoid shaking hands; wash your hands regularly and use hand sanitiser
The individual safety and hygiene measures of all participants is our priority, so we implemented additional measures on-site at the venue:
- Hand sanitiser will be available
- Masks will be available on-site
- All surfaces will be disinfected on a regular basis
Any changes to the COVID-19 regulations will be communicated on this webpage.
