Coronavirus Update

We understand that with regular news and updates about COVID-19 Coronavirus, there are many questions that our delegates and sponsors may have about IPCB2021. Please contact the IPCB2021 Secretariat should you have any queries. Additionally, our website is kept up to date so please check back regularly.

​

IPCB2021 will run as scheduled in UMS, Kota Kinabalu | 8-10 December 2021.  We are following the protocols set by the  national and local health authorities, but it’s a rapidly changing situation. Of course, if the advice changes, globally, nationally or locally, our position will change.

​

The health and safety of our visitors and staff is our top priority. We are working closely with the venue to put measures in place that will include:

 

• Public Health messaging displayed and shared before and during the event

• Strengthened hygiene measures, increased sanitisation, availability of disinfectants onsite at venue across all public areas and high-volume touchpoints such as:

  • Hand sanitizer dispensers in every toilet around the venue

  • Attendees strongly encouraged to disinfect their hands in the registration area before entering the event.

  • Shared equipment - Microphones, headsets, presentation laptops, clickers to be sanitised between each use.

  • Hand sanitizer wipes/dispensers at each feature area for all attendees upon entry and exit: Catering areas, poster areas, exhibition areas, and networking drinks reception.

  • Extra cleaning staff & increased routine checks.

• Strict food hygiene rules.

• Awareness and training of all staff and suppliers on standard personal preventative measures.

• Daily liaison with the risk assessment teams.

​

We understand you may be concerned about not being able to attend due to the Coronavirus COVID-19 situation. Rest assured that we will refund your registration fee, with no penalty, should you wish to cancel before the registration payment deadline (15 Oct 2021).
