Safety Guidelines for In-Person Events at the University of Chicago
Proof of vaccination, a negative COVID-19 test taken within 72 hours before the event or a positive COVID-19 test dated 14-90 days prior to the event as long as you are not experiencing any COVID-19 symptoms will be required at the entrance.
Unvaccinated and fully vaccinated individuals are required to wear a face covering over the nose and the mouth at all times while in university buildings.
This convening is open to all invitees who are compliant with UChicago vaccination requirements and, because of ongoing health risks, particularly to the unvaccinated, participants are expected to adopt the risk mitigation measures (masking and social distancing, etc.) appropriate to their vaccination status as advised by public health officials or to their individual vulnerabilities as advised by a medical professional. Public convening may not be safe for all and carries a risk for contracting COVID-19, particularly for those unvaccinated. Participants will not know the vaccination status of others and should follow appropriate risk mitigation measures.
