COVID-19 Policy
These guidelines are based on the current pandemic conditions and are subject to change as we continuously monitor the situation.

- We require all participants to take a COVID test, preferably a PCR test if you have access, less than 48 hours prior to departing for travel to the conference. This will help keep us all safe and avoid the potential for an outbreak. Please email the results (e.g., a photograph of a negative test, or an email or screenshot from a doctor's visit) to aws@swcmath.org.
- All attendees are strongly encouraged to: Get vaccinated and boosted as soon as possible, if they have not already done so.
- Make flexible travel arrangements that allow for rebooking, refunding, and/ or cancellation without penalty.
- Refer to the guidance on the CDC and University of Arizona websites.
- Bottles of hand sanitizer will be available in and around the main lecture hall and the evening working sessions. Participants are encouraged to also bring their own supply for personal use.
