COVID-19 related requirements/restrictions

NightHawk:
Ok. I just hope it'll be announced before the hotel cancellation deadline comes up. (72 hr before arrival)

Before people get this the wrong way:

I DO understand the desire to provide a save convention for everyone and I do understand how masks can help achieve just that.

This is purely a personal thing for me. Eurofurence has always been my main vacation I looked forward too. The one time I can truly relax and get away from the daily routine of life.
If mask mandates are just for the smaller panel rooms, that would be totally fine and understandable for me. That's where I expect them to be anyway. But if I'm constantly reminded of covid throughout the Hotel (Lobby, main stage), I cannot "let myself go" and enjoy the stay. The same reason I would never visit Eurofurence without a room at the Estrel. I want to get as far away from any sort of stress as possible for the few days.

It would be a shame, but if it's "too much" for me,  i'd rather then go on a themepark vacation.

Cifer:
Yeah, unfortunately the choices are "everyone gets reminded Covid exists during the con" and "a whole lot of people and their relatives and loved ones get reminded Covid exists in the weeks and possibly months after the con". Every German convention this year has led to outbreaks since mask mandates were dropped and I hope Eurofurence does the sensible thing and makes as many public indoor spaces mask-only as possible.

NightHawk:
Fair enough. Though it's doubtfull covid will ever "not exist" in our lifetimes.
Maybe EF 2023 will not require any measures anymore. Though i highly doubt it.

 Welp, just give us enough time to react.

Dingo:
Hey there,

as already stated in today's eMail to all attendees, (as of now) there will be a mask mandate in the following rooms:

Dealers' Den
Art Show
Art Auction
Registration (Queue and room Paris/Lyon)

We strongly suggest wearing face masks in all indoor areas of the hotel.

This list can be extended prior the convention as well as during the convention, based on risk assessments.

Hallo zusammen,

wie auch der heutigen eMail an alle Teilnehmer zu entnehmen ist, wird (zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt) eine vollständige Maskenpflicht in folgenden Räumen bestehen:

Dealers' Den
Art Show
Art Auction
Registration (Warteschlange und Raum Paris/Lyon)

In allen anderen Räumen des Hotels gilt eine dringende Empfehlung zum Tragen von Mund-Nasen-Masken.

Diese Liste kann sich vor der Veranstaltung und auch während der Veranstaltung, basierend auf den jeweiligen Risikoeinschätzungen, jedoch erweitern.

Greetings,

Dingo

NightHawk:
Oh well that's perfectly fine to me. I did expect a mask mandates for all the small panel rooms. I'm kinda surprised that isn't the case (yet)
