🫧 Influenza & Respiratory Health Tips

As the conference brings together participants from different regions, we encourage everyone to take simple steps to reduce the risk of influenza and other respiratory illnesses:

• If possible, please ensure your flu vaccination is up to date before attending.
  
  

• Wash or sanitise your hands frequently, especially after coughing, sneezing, or being in crowded spaces.
  
  

• Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or your elbow when coughing or sneezing.
  
  

• If you feel unwell (e.g., fever, cough, sore throat, fatigue), avoid crowded sessions and seek medical attention promptly.
  
  

• Wearing a mask in crowded indoor spaces is recommended if you have symptoms or lowered immunity.
  
  

• Take regular breaks in well-ventilated areas.
  
  

• If you develop symptoms during the conference, inform the registration desk or seek care at the nearest clinic listed on this page.

☔ Weather Alert – Kuala Lumpur (La Niña / Afternoon Showers)

As the conference occurs during a season influenced by the La Niña climate phenomenon—which is expected to bring heavier rainfall and more frequent thunderstorms across Malaysia 

Please be aware that mornings in Kuala Lumpur may feel warm and humid, while afternoons can bring sudden showers or thunderstorms. We recommend carrying a light waterproof jacket or umbrella, allowing extra time for transit between sessions, and avoiding outdoor routes if heavy rain begins. If weather conditions worsen, follow the venue’s guidance for shelter and always monitor any official weather alerts.
