COVID-19 and EMHG Meeting 2020, Nijmegen

The local organising committee and EMHG Executive Committee recognise that uncertainty surrounding the potential consequences of COVID-19 includes the potential for restrictions on travel, meetings and leave from hospital duties. Currently, there are no reasons to think that Nijmegen might be a high-risk location for COVID-19 but should the situation change we will be guided by the authorities in the Netherlands. We would like to encourage those who have registered, or wish to register, to pay their registration fee as soon as possible. The EMHG guarantees full reimbursement of the registration fee if the meeting is cancelled or you receive advice (from your government or employer) that you should not travel.

If you are making travel arrangements we would suggest that you ensure you have travel insurance that will recover these costs should the meeting be cancelled or you are prevented from travelling by the COVID-19 situation. If you are unable to obtain such insurance, we would suggest you do not book your travel until the beginning of April when we hope the situation will be clearer.
