-We need to start living with COVID as an endemic issue in our community, which is best addressed by continuing basic health precautions such as masks, screening, and social distancing until more of the community is immunized and the pandemic winds down.
+## Summary
 
-As health rules vary so much on a global scale, and community spread and deaths, we regularly review and adhere to the current WHO small meeting guidelines. If there are stronger local, regional, or country requirements, then they must be followed.

-On a personal note, if you're not yet vaccinated or had your boosters, please get vaccinated or boosted as soon as you can. This is the only way we get out of this pandemic. ^ajv.

 ### Do I have to enforce vaccine mandates, or can I require vaccinations at my meeting or event?
