Lex Mundi has updated its Covid policy and no longer requires participants to provide proof of vaccination and/or of a negative Covid test before attending an event. However, we do encourage participants to take a test before coming to a Lex Mundi event if they feel unwell or have been in close contact with a confirmed Covid case in the days preceding the event.
Furthermore, should a participant exhibit any Covid symptoms or feel unwell during an event, Lex Mundi staff may require the participant to take a rapid antigen test before resuming conference activities.
We greatly appreciate your cooperation and patience as we endeavor to navigate “living with Covid” alongside the continued circulation of the virus. Our objective is to take reasonable measures to try to keep attendees safe.
Please note these policies are subject to change should a change in the Covid situation warrant it.
