Going to conferences has similar COVID risk to staying home: Study
As COVID rates continue to decline globally and across the United States, many professional healthcare associations are gradually resuming in-person meetings. This is despite the increasing number of online meetings and the shift in dynamics from physical sessions to virtual conferences during COVID lockdown restrictions.
Clarke's team recruited registrants for a survey assessment of COVID testing and symptoms 7 days after the meeting. The researchers collated data from anonymous surveys and evaluated differences in positivity rates between virtual and in-person attendees. All in-person participants were fully vaccinated, and 500 had received a booster shot. Six respondents attended the meeting virtually because they tested positive for COVID prior to the conference.
