MSHS COVID-19 LECTURES, EVENTS & MEETING POLICY

• Out of an abundance of caution, effective as soon as possible but no later than Tuesday, March 10, we are instituting a temporary policy to cancel all in-person large group lectures, events, and meetings across the Mount Sinai Health System, and if possible, offer a virtual alternative.

• This includes, but is not limited to, grand rounds, educational classes, administrative meetings, and clinical meetings. To be clear, the Mount Sinai Health System, including the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, remains open under this policy. We are just limiting the size of gatherings and also limiting visitors.

• Safety Guidelines: Requirements for Meetings

• The meeting organizer will ensure that there are the appropriate people stationed at the meeting entry, and with adequate hand sanitizer supplies and directions/signage, to ensure that each participant meets the following criteria:

• Symptom check If anyone has any of the following symptoms, or had them in the last 24 hours, they must be refused entry to the meeting: feeling feverish; new-onset persistent cough; nasal congestion and runny nose, or sore throat.

• Do not shake hands

• Hand hygiene with hand sanitizer prior to entry into the room (there is a wall hand sanitizer around the corner from the radiology conference room).
