After the Conference
For travellers with a vaccination certificate or a recovery certificate, the urgent advice is to take a self-test before meeting others or going back to work.
Please be aware, in case a participant needs to do a test here in the Netherlands and will be tested positive here and needs to go into quarantine, EFDN will NOT cover the extra costs (extra nights at the Hotel due to quarantine and a new flight to travel back home ). These extra costs will be on the participating organisation.
