Dear members of COPANT:

In view of the rapid spread of Coronavirus infection (COVID-19), which is leading several countries and organizations to restrict travel and meetings, and taking into account that the most important concern is to safeguard and take care of the health of our members' delegates, the President, Ricardo Fragoso, and COPANT authorities have taken the decision to suspend our meeting scheduled for April 26-29, 2020 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Tentatively we will move the date to the first week of November (date already reserved for the meeting of the Board of Directors), to hold our General Assembly meeting in Rio de Janeiro. However, we have to follow closely the events and development of this health crisis in order to confirm this date.

I am very grateful for your understanding, and we at COPANT hope that you will all remain healthy and safe from this pandemic.

Sincerely,

Kory Eguino
Executive Secretary of COPANT
