Health and Safety Guidelines: CANASA and Security Canada Event Participants
We wish to advise you that CANASA events scheduled for March have been postponed, as well as Security Canada East. At this time, all other events are proceeding as planned. We will continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation and will make the
necessary determination on future events as the situation warrants.
As a CANASA event participant, your health and safety
are paramount. Heightened awareness around influenza and COVID-19 has prompted
us to implement some important policies for your comfort and wellness:
- If you have had any flu-like symptoms (fever and cough, sore
throat, runny or stuffy nose) or have experienced vomiting and/or
diarrhea within two weeks prior to an event or a Security Canada show, we ask that
you please do not attend. Due to the current coronavirus
situation, we are unable to make any exceptions. If sickness prevents
you from attending, please contact your travel provider to change your
travel plans.
CANASA is:
- Closely monitoring the cities in which our events and shows are taking place. We will provide updates as appropriate.
- Requesting that all participants evaluate their own health and that
of those they’re in close contact with. We encourage all participants
that are sick or showing symptoms of illness to stay home.
- Requiring participants to follow the guidance of the CDC for
everyday preventive actions to help prevent the spread of respiratory
viruses.
- Implementing a “No Handshake” policy and requiring that all
participants wash their hands often with soap and water for at least 20
seconds, especially after going to the bathroom, before eating, and
after blowing their nose, coughing, or sneezing.
- Providing sanitizers and wipe-downs for all microphones and speaker monitors.
- Having hand sanitizers readily available to all participants at the registration area.
