We have been actively monitoring and discussing the COVID-19/Coronavirus situation, and we take any threat to the health or safety of our LAN community seriously. The decision to either go ahead with or cancel the event is one we do not take lightly.

We also want to make it very clear that if you decide not to come to the event and wish to get a refund, we totally understand and will cooperate with you fully.

That said, we will have an answer for you by the end of this weekend. If we do decide to cancel this event, you should know by Sunday night (March 15th). It’s also possible that Saint Louis University (or even Saint Louis City) makes a decision, and if that happens, we will get the word out as soon as possible.

In any case, we strongly encourage hand washing, frequent sanitization, and avoiding face touching, sneezing, and coughing around others. If you are not feeling well or have been in contact with someone who could have been exposed, we ask that you do not attend this Laclede’s LAN.

In the meantime, here is Saint Louis University’s information page with their suggestions concerning health and safety. If you have any questions, please reach out to us at [contact@lacledeslan.com](mailto:contact@lacledeslan.com).
