[Alucard1]

This pandemic COVID-19 brings us so many changes in our daily lives and even in some events that we are usually doing, as of our current situation, one of the major crypto events from Switzerland prepares to take return to a physical format, I am hoping that COVID-19 will end within this year so it would be possible for them to continue the event.

The international crypto event, the Crypto Finance Conference(CfC) St. Moritz will be held in St. Mortiz and will take place from January 20-22, 2021, the event will feature speakers from key industry firms and institutions like Winklevoss capital, Swiss national bank, European Parliament, Ledger, and others. Cointelegraph, the well-known crypto news website will be used as the main media of the event.

This would be the fourth annual Iteration of CfC St. Mortize for the upcoming conference and will be different from the previous events because of the pandemic, the conference will prioritize the health of the attendees to avoid the risk of spreading the virus.

These are the available safety strategies of CfC St.Moritz
Health Checks
1. Fever and Oxygen level testing: Before the guests will be able to check-in and gain an access to the conference area, the hospital staff will test the fever and oxygen level.
2. PCR-testing: Attendees should bring a PCR-test which is not older than 5-8 days.

Hygiene
1. Cleaning and disinfection: They will also provide disinfection stations in some important places of the conference.
2. Wearing of masks: Attendees should wear face masks in the main hall, they will provide masks for attendees who are not able to bring a mask.
3. Disinfection gel: They will also provide disinfectant bottles for every guest.
4. "NO HANDSHAKE" policy: Nobody contact and should be avoided all the time.

Distance rules
1. "Open door" policy: The doors and passages will be constantly open to avoid contact with surfaces.
2. Number of attendees: There are only a limited of 250 attendees in the conference, to obey the requirements of the Gederal Office of Public Health.
3. Conference seating: There would also seating arrangements and a number of seats where possible.

Monitoring
1. Monitoring: The distribution and the movement of the guests will observe all the times using the conference wristbands, it is tracked by means of NFC chips in the wristbands. Those data will be exclusive with the CDC St. Moritz and will be deleted 14 days after the conference.
2. "Application only" conference: The applications are only possible on the event's homepage and all of the questions on that are in line with the requirements of the Federal Office of Public Health.
3. Tracing App: All of the guests should download the SwissCovide app and activate it, aside from it there is also CFC St. Moritz App which has the information about the conference and COVID-19 measures.

Partner collaboration
1. Cooperation with suppliers and hotels: All of the suppliers and gastronomy partners will work in line with the highest hygiene standards and fulfill GastroSuisse's specifications which are in line with legal requirements.
2. Medical department: There is also qualified medical care at all times as well as the Doctors and medical staff of the upper Engadin Hospital.

The challenges caused by COVID-19  require additional efforts, which we as the organizer are happy to take on. We believed that the unique experience of CfC St. Moritz is not possible without physical interaction and personal exchange and are even the more sought after, particularly if appropriate measures are in place.

The application keynote will highlight these industry topics and will be available online.
1. Cryptocurrency regulation.
2. Central bank digital currencies and stable coins.
3. Crypto investment strategies.

This event of St. Moritz 2021will purportedly be among the first global crypto events with physical encounters on which most of the events of 2020 went online and some are delayed because of the pandemic virus.

Is January too early? I don't think commercial vaccine will already be out in most countries at that time. If this will push thru and most attendees don't have their covid vaccine, this will create chaos if someone is infected and asymptomatic. Or maybe they will have onsite covid test and tight health protocols. But it is best to postpone and move it to later date.

I hope this will not be the case here: Blockchain developer tests positive for coronavirus after Ethereum conferences. But this was early though to be fair, wherein we really don't have any safety protocols yet.

I guess nothing can stop blockchain globally though, there are safety precautions already in place. And just like the rest of the world, this is the 'new normal', we need to move on with our lives, we shouldn't be defeated by the virus. And I'm sure those attendees knows the risk, and they are prepared for it that's why everything is laid out as early as today.

Is January too early?

I am also thinking if the event would be possible in January because based on the legit statistics(October 01, 2020) there are already 52,751 cases, 1,781 deaths, and 781 new cases yesterday(September 01, 2020), it seems like there is no sign of decreasing of cases if this pandemic will not go before 2021 then maybe they will just move it for some other months. It is so dangerous to continue the even while the virus is still there.

It is good that they implement some ways to maintain the security health of every guest in the conference, the virus is still not over, and having a meeting or conference is such a bad thing to happen especially if there is no health protocols, doctors, authorities that will organize all the things that will happen in the conference. I think that all of the things that they will do to maintin the safeitness is already enough to avoid the virus to spread to each and everyone. Wearing face mas and social distancing is a must and enough to avoid it. Just make sure that they will all follow it.

It seems like they really believe and love cryptocurrency because they are still having a conference for the event in 2021 even though the virus is still there from their country. I am also looking for that kind of event in our country but it seems so impossible to happen because as of now our government does not allow cryptocurrency to be taught in school but there are still many people who are having good knowledge about it and they are still having some transactions in crypto.
