Please join the SOCP on March 19 (12:00 PM ET) for a 1-hour Webinar to address what maritime personnel can expect if there is an actual or suspected exposure to COVID-19.
There will be moderated discussion with representation from the USCG and CDC (to be confirmed). There will also be a Recap of the SOCP’s 2019 Pandemic Exercise.
Due to the nature of this topic and rapidly changing information, the SOCP leadership team has decided to invite all members of the maritime community to participate in this event.
