At the Ehlers-Danlos Society, we prioritize the safety and well-being of our community. ​​Our COVID-19 policy is informed by current guidelines from the CDC and WHO, following industry practices and acknowledging the latest published research. ​
​Based on these things, we do not currently have a mask mandate for in-person attendees at our events and meetings.​
​We want to reassure everyone that we continue to take necessary measures to ensure a safe and hygienic environment, including maintaining good airflow, enhanced spacing between seating, and welcoming those who prefer to wear masks. ​
​We understand the challenges faced by individuals living with Ehlers-Danlos syndromes and hypermobility spectrum disorders, as well as those living with long COVID, and we will continue to offer both in-person and virtual participation options at all our events and meetings to accommodate everyone’s comfort and needs.
