In light of that and recent increases in the amount of COVID-19 cases primarily due to the Delta variant - we want to make sure that attendees are aware of the convention center policies expected to be in place at the time of the SERMACS meeting:
- Masks are mandatory for all employees in common public spaces and interacting with customers
- Masks are currently 'recommended' for all customers and event attendees in public areas, with social distancing and additional spacing encouraged and all of cleaning / sanitation protocols remaining in effect. The matter of masks being 'recommended' versus 'required' is expected to change very quickly based on COVID-19 and Delta variant trends and any broader ordinance(s) issued by the City of Birmingham, County, and/or State.
- We will continue to monitor the trajectory of the Delta variant through this week and coming weeks.
