COVID-19 guidelines

The Lorne Infection and Immunity Conference has put the following measures in place for the management of ongoing risks arising from the COVID-19 pandemic:     

  • Rapid antigen tests and masks will be available at the registration desk for those who need them.

  • Emergency Services: 000

  • Victorian Government Coronavirus Hotline at 1800 675 398

The venue will take every opportunity to open windows/doors to ensure good ventilation and air flow.

The Mantra Lorne and Lorne Central will provide catering in a COVIDSafe manner.  Where possible and weather permitting, meals will be served outdoors.

Whenever possible, please maintain social distancing.  Consider joining the conference from the over-flow room or virtual platform if the main hall is crowded.

Practice good hygiene.  Hand sanitizer will be provided throughout the venue and we strongly encourage all delegates to use it frequently.

Please be respectful of the venue and ASN staff, as well as other delegates. Let’s do all we can to protect each other from infection.  If you feel unwell, please refrain from joining scientific and social programmed events and join the meeting via the streaming service. These guidelines have been developed in consultation with the Mantra Lorne’s COVIDSafe plan and the Accor ALLSAFE principles.
