MUSE Event Health Guidelines

Vaccination

As part of our efforts to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 at the MUSE Executive Institute event, all event attendees and MUSE staff will be required to provide proof of COVID-19 “full vaccination” in order to gain access to the event, or be granted a waiver of this requirement by MUSE in accordance with the current MUSE policy.

This guidance applies to COVID-19 vaccines authorized for use by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna and Johnson and Johnson (J&J)/Janssen COVID-19 vaccines), as well as COVID-19 vaccines authorized for use by the World Health Organization (i.e., AstraZeneca/Oxford, Covishield, Sinopharm and Sinovac) on or before December 12, 2021.

To validate vaccination status, those entering the MUSE event must bring an ID and proof of full vaccination in order to receive their event nametag. 

Public Health Guidelines

MUSE requests all participating at this event comply with travel guidelines issued by the CDC when traveling to California.

The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) is now recommending that fully vaccinated people also mask in indoor public settings across California.

Meeting and Event Code of Conduct

These MUSE guidelines outline steps that can be taken to provide as safe an environment as possible when meeting in-person. Responsibility is shared equally among event organisers, the event venues, and the event attendees. We all have a role to play in the mitigation of risk.

Stay home if you feel sick.

Before leaving home:

  • Follow relevant guidance provided by the World Health Organization (WHO), and your local health authority.
  • Adhere to government-issued travel restrictions and guidance issued by California and the region you are traveling from.
  • Evaluate your own health and that of people you are in close contact with. Contact the event organizers if you have concerns.

Onsite during the event:

  • Follow guidance from your local health authority, for everyday preventive actions to help prevent the spread of respiratory viruses including:
    • Washing hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
    • Avoiding touching eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
    • Covering your nose and mouth when coughing or sneezing.
    • Cleaning and disinfecting frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe.
  • Agree to wear a mask or facial covering, if required by the event organisers.
  • Adhere to social distance protocols put in place by the event organisers and respect others’ personal space.
  • Go to the event First Aid office (or equivalent) at any time if you feel unwell or are experiencing flu-like symptoms.
