COVID-19 Information

The 2021 Gulf Coast Chapter Meeting of the Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society scheduled for November 6-7 at the Piedmont Atlanta Hospital, Marcus Tower, 1968 Peachtree Road NW, Atlanta, GA 30309 is still a go! We are watching the impact of the COVID-19 Delta variant within the US and around the world with great interest and we are regularly monitoring US federal government, Georgia state government, and the Atlanta city government COVID-19 websites for changes to travel and group gathering policies/recommendations/restrictions.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ALL LIVE UHMS MEETINGS

We do not know the COVID-19 vaccination status of any of the registrants and we cannot require all attendees to be vaccinated. UHMS leadership is concerned with meeting attendees' health during and after our meeting and are recommending the following actions during any of the live UHMS meetings to help prevent the spread of COVID-19:

All attendees wear a protective face covering while inside the meeting venue
Practice physical distancing during the meeting
Regularly and thoroughly wash hands or use an alcohol-based hand rub

We are excited about our fin-person meetings in more than two years. We want everyone in attendance to enjoy the program and social events. We also want to ensure all attendees are protected from the COVID-19 virus. Following the above prevention steps during the meetings will significantly aid in protecting all.

FACE COVERING AND PHYSICAL DISTANCING RECOMMENDATIONS

Get your COVID-19 vaccine: Get your COVID-19 vaccine to protect yourself and others from getting sick. Guidance for fully vaccinated people.
Wear a face mask in public: Covering your nose and mouth with a face mask greatly reduces your chances of spreading the virus and also provides some protection for you. Use face coverings if you'll be indoors or around other people where social distancing is difficult to maintain. CDC guidance on cloth face coverings.
Wash your hands frequently: Washing your hands with regular soap and water for at least 20 seconds is effective in stopping the spread of COVID-19. If soap and water are unavailable, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer liberally. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands. More handwashing tips.
Move at least 6 feet away from others: COVID-19 can spread among people who are in close contact for a prolonged period of time. Avoid public spaces where close contact with others may occur. If you are around other people, stay at least 6 feet away from them. CDC guidance on social distancing.

TRAVEL TO GEORGIA:

There are no restrictions for travel to, from, or within Georgia. All residents and visitors are strongly encouraged to follow public health safety measures.

Your home state or country may have restrictions in place. Find out what applies to you before you travel.

If you are driving through Georgia, please follow the Georgia Department of Transportation for information about traffic, lane closures, and rest areas. If you are traveling from Georgia to another state, please be aware of the public health safety measures and local laws there.
