2 Your Health During the Symposium For the safety of our symposium participants, vendors, and staff we have implemented several steps to help limit the spread of influenza-like illnesses at the convention center: • Anti-bacterial foam soap in all restrooms • Hand sanitizing stations at all time clocks for employees to use before and after clocking in or out • All staff to use disposable gloves and to change them often • Containers of hand sanitizer in common areas • Refreshing and spraying disinfectant in restroom areas • Wiping all surfaces often, such as escalator hand rails, door knobs/handles, etc If you feel unwell while attending the symposium, please visit one of our medical services locations. We have designated areas where you can view the symposium sessions in a more comfortable setting while limiting contagion. All symposium hotels also have programs in place to assist you. Please take the following precautions recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to stay healthy: • Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it. • Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. Alcohol-based hand cleaners are also effective. • Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth. Germs spread that way. • Stay home if you get sick. Limit contact with others to keep from infecting them. • Try to avoid close contact with sick people. When in San Antonio, if you will not be attending the symposium due to illness, please contact the “call out” number on the back of your badge to enable us to track health-related issues for the protection of all symposium participants. The CDC suggests you seek urgent medical care if you are experiencing any of the following symptoms: • Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath • Pain or pressure in the chest or abdomen • Sudden dizziness • Confusion • Severe or persistent vomiting
