FSDDS COVID Policy

The FSDDS Board of Directors is excited to host the 2021 ANNUAL MEETING in a safe and COVID friendly environment. Please review our COVID policies below:

The Florida Society of Dermatology and Dermatologic Surgery staff, agents and representatives, when acting for and on behalf of the FSDDS during FSDDS sponsored activities, will follow Federal CDC guidelines and any state and local mandates as they relate to preventing the spread of COVID-19 at FSDDS live events and at all FSDDS meetings indoor and/or outdoor hosted and/or facilitated by The Florida Society of Dermatology and Dermatologic Surgery.

Based on the situation at the time when the events/meeting is scheduled, the FSDDS has determined that the event/meeting can take place in-person instead of strictly virtually and will follow precautions under paragraph 1, above. This does not guarantee that the event/meeting will happen as the spread situation days before the event/meeting may have changed. Event/meeting may have to be postponed or shifted to a virtual platform if timing and type of event/meeting permits.

All staff and volunteers officially representing the FSDDS at any FSDDS or public event must follow these guidelines, including the wearing of masks, unless a doctor has determined doing so may put the representative at further risk due to an underlying health condition. In this case, a face shield is recommended.

Upon registration, event requirements and protocols will be clearly stated online and upon check-in at the event. Masks and hand sanitizer will be readily available at every event. If not mandated by government officials, attendees and members hosting events or meetings should be encouraged to wear to mask. If a meeting/event is hosted by a business member outside of a mask-required mandated geographic area, FSDDS members attending the meetings/events will follow the COVID-19 prevention protocols of the member host even if such protocols are more stringent than the mandated requirements.
