Covid protocol (Adapted from AGU)

AGU is committed to providing a safe and healthy environment for all building visitors, tenants and staff.  We continue to monitor health and safety issues, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, and to follow CDC guidelines as they are released.  At the AGU building, we maintain cleaning and sanitation practices and monitor the outside air circulation for the building, commensurate with a healthy environment.  At this time, AGU is no longer requiring visitors to present proof of vaccination nor requiring signature on the Assumption of Risk & Waiver Form; however, we do strongly encourage all visitors to be up-to-date on all vaccinations and/or to confirm a negative COVID test within 24 hours before arrival to the AGU building. Any guest who is ill or feeling unwell should stay home and refrain from participating in any group functions. Currently, indoor masking is optional. AGU may update these protocols and procedures at any time in its sole discretion. The NABG stands with AGU and is in full support of their COVID protocol.

Reporting Positive Cases

Attendees who receive a positive test result during the 42nd Annual Technical Conference are not allowed to enter the conference venue and must immediately quarantine. These attendees are encouraged to share positive test results with a NABG representative: Nabg.us@hotmail.com. For contact tracing purposes, a list of close contacts without masking will be requested. All information will be considered confidential.
