SMASH 2022 COVID statement
As SMASH organisers we are aware of the understandable concerns regarding possible COVID transmission at large scale events and will put in place various measures to minimise such risks at this year’s meeting. In particular we shall adopt the following policies:

- Chairs will be well spaced in the lecture hall
In addition we encourage all participants to undertake a COVID test (LFT/RAT etc) before travelling to the conference and not to attend if unwell immediately before the event.
