GSA Protocol

For the health and safety of GSA 2024 attendees, GSA’s COVID-19 safety recommendation or established protocol is subject to change based on COVID-19 community infection levels and any updated guidance from CDC and/or federal or state officials in localities hosting the GSA in-person meeting.

If you begin to exhibit any of the symptoms associated with COVID-19, we encourage you to follow CDC guidelines. Please self-test or visit a Seattle testing site.
