We have copied below what is written on SLAC's COVID policy website. Please read below. Since visitors traveling from abroad will not have had 5 days time in the US prior to the Workshop, we assume that everybody will fall under Protocol B (no-test option). Because of this, we encourage all attendees to wear masks (N-95, KN-95 or surgical) while sitting less than 6 feet from others. Thanks in advance for your for your understanding!
SLAC COVID Policy (link) includes the following words:
