COVID 19

WHAT IS THE SITUATION LIKE IN CANADA THESE DAYS?

  • COVID 19 cases are quite low now. However, the virus is never really far!

SHOULD I BRING MY OWN ANTIGENIC TESTS?

  • Yes. Great idea!!! The organizing committee has access to a limited number of AG tests, but bringing your own with you will just make it simpler and more straightforward.

IS THE MASK MANDATORY? 

  • No. except in public transportations. However, we strongly encourage all attendees to wear it at any time during the conference. This is because there are a lot of folks who are either far from home or travel by plane. Contracting COVID 19 when you are travelling abroad can add complications to an otherwise fun trip. So let's make sure that everyone comes back home  safely... and not as a COVID patient!

DO I NEED A VACCINE PASS TO ENTER STORES AND OTHER PUBLIC SPACES IN MTL? 

  • Not anymore

WHAT ARE THE BORDER RESTRICTIONS FOR TRAVELLERS? 

  • The situation keeps evolving. We refer travelers to the official information from the Government of Canada.
