********************************
It has been brought to our attention at the UPMA National Office that we have had up to nine members of one chapter returning home from the National Convention have tested positive for COVID-19.
While we provided masks for all attendees and hand sanitization stations were available throughout the facility and the attendees were encouraged to use whatever precautions they felt appropriate, we are saddened to hear about these individuals that have contracted the virus.
While the precautions that were taken by each individual in attendance was an individual choice, I felt that if you attended the convention, you should be made aware of this situation.
Due to HIPAA requirements, I do not feel comfortable sharing any information other than this at this time. Again, it is up to each person that attended to decide if they feel the need to be tested at this time, or at some time in the future.
