Message on COVID-19
The SWE Baltimore-Washington section is taking the Coronavirus outbreak seriously, and encourage you to take actions to prevent transmission and reduce risk for all. This includes staying home when you are feeling unwell, avoiding densely populated areas especially after recent travel, washing your hands frequently, and practicing general good hygiene. You can find more information on the Center for Disease Control and World Health Organization websites.

Due to these extra precautions, the status of many of the SWE-BWS events in the next few months will continue to evolve. We thank you for your patience as we work through the details and provide you with additional information.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at leadership@swe-bws.org.

Thank you and stay healthy!
