AngelaJoin me in support of a strong Global #PlasticsTreaty that limits plastic production and use so that we can finally turn off the tap and end the age of plastic - for our communities, our country, and our planet. #INC1 #BreakFreeFromPlastic https://bit.ly/3PTrA1Q
Dr. Melanie Bergmann3/ At #INC1 for the #PlasticsTreaty no precautions were taken other than asking for an upload of the vaccination records b4 departure. After quite a few cases emerged early on, some rapid tests could be purchased (10x as expensive as in Germany) from the conference. I know of MANY cases, plus it was very mixed with people who may not have access to great healthcare incl. vaccines. I much preferred the South Korean way with daily tests!
