[ncc-announce] [news] COVID-19 and RIPE NCC-organised Events

Dear RIPE NCC members,

Following global concern regarding the COVID-19 outbreak, we’ve been
taking measures to protect our staff and guests at all of our events.
This includes RIPE Meetings, regional events, training courses and
member lunches.

To ensure the health and safety of all attendees, we are:
- Following the guidance of the World Health Organization (WHO)
- Adhering to the travel restrictions and guidance of the host country.
Please check the travel advice issued by the host country before travelling.
- Encouraging attendees to follow WHO recommendations to help prevent
the spread of the virus

So far, MENOG 20 has been postponed, which was planned to take place
from 15-19 March in Manama, Bahrain. This was necessary to ensure the
health and safety of everyone. We hope to announce new dates for MENOG
20 in the future.

In the meantime, we are closely monitoring the situation and will keep
you informed about new developments. You can check the status of all our
events at:

If you have concerns about attending one of our events, please contact
us at <meeting at ripe.net>.

Kind regards,

Fergal Cunningham
Marketing and Communications Manager
