 Annual Conference 2021 Safety Measures

November 17 - 19, 2021
Birmingham, Alabama
The Alabama Counseling Association (ALCA) has been in contact with the Health Officer, Dr. Mark E Wilson from the Jefferson County Health Department. He has reviewed and discussed the ALCA Conference safety measures which are as follows:

  1. Masks will be provided by ALCA for attendees to wear at the conference
  2. Sanitation stations with hand sanitizer will be available throughout the conference areas
  3. Safety sign wrist bands for each attendee to wear and others to honor color-coded requests
  4. Encouraged precautions for safety and self-assessment
  5. Vaccination tent provided for those who are interested in getting a free vaccine at the conference
The ALCA is following and encouraging conference attendees to follow the Center for Disease Control (CDC) safety measures:

  • If you are attending a gathering, think about the steps you need to take to protect yourself and your loved ones from COVID-19.
  • If you are not fully vaccinated and aged 2 or older, you should wear a mask in indoor public places.
  • In general, you do not need to wear a mask in outdoor settings.
  • In areas with high numbers of COVID-19 cases, consider wearing a mask in crowded outdoor settings and for activities with close contact with others who are not fully vaccinated.
  • People who have a condition or are taking medications that weaken their immune system may not be fully protected even if they are fully vaccinated. They should continue to take all precautions recommended for unvaccinated people, including wearing a well-fitted mask, until advised otherwise by their healthcare provider.
  • If you are fully vaccinated, to maximize protection from the Delta variant and prevent possibly spreading it to others, wear a mask indoors in public if you are in an area of substantial or high transmission.
  • This list does not include all possible symptoms. CDC will continue to update this list as we learn more about COVID-19. Older adults and people who have severe underlying medical conditions like heart or lung disease or diabetes seem to be at higher risk for developing more serious complications from COVID-19 illness.
Prior to attending the ALCA Annual Conference the CDC suggest you self-assess to determine your ability to attend this gathering:
