Health & Safety

As we welcome you to the 2023 IWF Cornerstone Conference in Helsinki, your health, safety, and well-being is our top priority. 

Vaccination Required for the Conference

All IWF conference participants will be required to upload proof of full Covid-19 vaccination as part of the registration process. You are considered fully vaccinated if it has been at least 2 weeks since you got your first one dose shot (such as Johnson and Johnson) or your second two dose shot (such as Pfizer or Moderna). 
The temporary sections of the Communicable Diseases Act concerning COVID-19 certificates required when arriving in Finland are no longer in force. Entry into Finland will work in the same manner as before the coronavirus pandemic. Please refer to the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare here for the latest guidance. 

Masks/Face Coverings

Mask/face coverings are optional in all indoor spaces. The decision to wear a mask in settings where it is not required is a personal one and all conference participants are encouraged to choose the option they are most comfortable with.

Testing

Should you be feeling symptomatic, the IWF registration desk will have rapid antigen tests on hand for participants to use. If you test positive, please immediately notify the hotel front desk. You will need to quarantine in your room and should only return to the conference once you have both tested negative and are feeling better.
