COVID-19 Precautions

Discovery Park Industry Day organizers have precautions in place to protect in-person participants and help limit the spread of COVID-19. Those precautions include (and are not limited to):

Weather permitting, the main program will be held under an open-air tent with appropriate social distancing. Face coverings and hand sanitizer will be available.

The morning of the event, in-person participants must take their temperature before leaving for the Brookhaven Lab site. They will also be asked several straightforward screening questions before being granted access to the site. Those questions will be provided before the event.

Registrants whose temperature is 100°F or higher the day of the event or whose answers to the screening questions indicate they may have COVID-19, or may have been exposed it, must not attend Industry Day in person. Instead, please contact Event Coordinator Liz Flynn (631-344-3834) as soon as possible for instructions to participate online.

While at Industry Day, attendees must follow these practices:

  • Maintain a distance of six feet between you and others.
  • Wear a face and nose covering.

Additional guidance to protect yourself and others is available from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Learn more at www.cdc.gov/covid-19.

Note: New York State has issued an advisory that requires travelers coming from states with significant rates of transmission of COVID-19 to quarantine for a 14-day period. The list of states is maintained here, along with more information about the travel advisory. Industry Day registrants who would travel from these states may only join the event online or arrive at the Brookhaven Lab site after completing the 14-day quarantine period in New York.
