LL13 Recommendations:
As in other international conferences in the summer of 2022, protective measures against Covid are in practice subject to individually specific conditions of risk. LL13 endorses the following recommendations:

• We recommend mask-wearing in crowded situations, e.g. queuing up for registration or coffee.
• Mask-wearing in the session rooms is subject to your own personal judgement. By all means do wear a mask to protect yourself, if you so wish. All rooms are cleaned daily and aired properly during sessions and breaks.
• Exercise caution in your social interactions during LL13 for the sake of your own and others' health. Remember that other delegates may be more vulnerable than you are or feel.
• Do not attend if you are positive. If you experience Covid-related symptoms, please test before attending.
