CROI leadership has been closely monitoring the evolving situation with the novel coronavirus outbreak (COVID 19) in China and any impact it will have on the conference. For more information click here.

February 25, 2010. UPDATE ON IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON CROI ATTENDEES
CROI continues to monitor the impact of COVID-19 on the conference. At this time, full registration refunds will be given for people from China or other countries that are under a specific travel ban; other requests will be addressed on a case-by-case basis. For poster presenters who cannot attend because of these travel restrictions, CROI is making special accommodations for their science to be presented during the conference even though they are not able to be at the conference in person. We are also exploring potential solutions for any oral abstract presenters who might be affected by a travel ban and unable to attend CROI.

More information will be release once it becomes available.
