Keeping safe after COVID
Scottish Government – Guidance for living safely with respiratory infections, including coronavirus (COVID-19).
Living safely with respiratory infections, including COVID-19 – GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
As we learn to live safely with coronavirus (COVID-19), there are actions we can all take to help reduce the risk of catching COVID-19 and passing it on to others. These actions will also help to reduce the spread of other respiratory infections, such as flu, which can spread easily and may cause serious illness in some people.
There are simple things you can do in your daily life that will help reduce the spread of COVID-19 and other respiratory infections and protect those at highest risk. Things you can choose to do are:
- Get vaccinated.
- Let fresh air in if meeting others indoors.
- Practise good hygiene:
- wash your hands
- cover your coughs and sneezes
- clean your surroundings frequently
- Wear a face covering or a face mask.
EDGE2023
We’ll be taking a number of steps to help create a safe environment:
- The reception desk has “distance aware” lanyards and face coverings for use for any participant. Please help yourselves.
- Wipes and sanitizer are also available, to assist with good hygiene practices.
- Registration is an open for a full hour, to discourage queuing and overcrowding.
- The Canongate & Dunedin Rooms will have doors open to allow fresh air to circulate.
- Layouts have been adjusted to allow delegates more space, as required, and to help encourage one-way flows of movement at the venue.
We ask delegates to follow ongoing Coronavirus (COVID-19) advice from NHS Inform about avoiding contact with other people if you have symptoms of a respiratory infection and a high temperature. If at any point during the EDGE2023, if you feel unwell with these symptoms, we ask that you leave the conference.
If this occurs and you need any assistance, please notify a member of the EDGE Team.
