COCCI is committed to creating a safe environment for all attendees at our live events. If you are exhibiting cold or flu-like symptoms, have knowingly been exposed to COVID-19, or have received a positive COVID-19 test within 5 days of the start of a COCCI event, please stay home and do not attend.
Based on our guidelines, here is what you can expect:
All attendees must be up to date with COVID-19 vaccinations, including boosters for those who are eligible. Proof of vaccination may be required to gain access to a COCCI event and will be listed on the registration, with instructions, if applicable.
While COCCI strongly encourages all attendees to test prior to attending our events, proof of negative COVID-19 tests are not required.
Facial masks are encouraged but will not be required.
If you have a medical exemption, please forward to info@cocci.org.
Please contact info@cocci.org for any health and safety-related questions.
If I am ineligible to receive my booster vaccine, can I still attend the event?
If you are ineligible to receive your booster vaccine, but are up to date with your primary vaccinations, you may still attend a COCCI event.
What should I do if I am medically exempt from receiving primary or booster vaccines?
Please forward to info@cocci.org.
What should I do if I have recovered from COVID-19, but still receive positive test results?
If you have COVID-19 within 5 days of the start of the event, we ask that you please do not attend. If you have recovered from COVID-19 more than 5 days before the start of the event and are still receiving positive test results, please bring your positive COVID-19 test result from an accredited lab, pharmacy, or clinic (must include date, attendee name, and must be taken no more than 90 days before the start of the event) OR a doctor’s note.
