NEWS and ANNOUNCEMENTS
- Message from our Run Coordinator: Major vacancies for Shift Leader and ECS shifts during the July ramp up phase! Please HELP and sign-up for shifts! Vacancies during the July ramp up phase
- SL 07/11 - 07/15 + 07/13 - 07/18
- ECS 07/25 - 07/30 + 07/29 - 08/03
- DCS 07/27 - 08/01 + 07/29 - 08/03 + 07/31 - 08/05
- Covid-19: CERN is in Level 1: GREEN:
For the complete picture, please consult the link here. If you have symptoms, have tested positive for COVID-19 or are a close contact, you must declare on TRAMED. For any information and support: contact ALICE-covid19-coordination@cern.ch
- People with COVID-19-like symptoms should still self-declare on TRAMED and may come on site until the result of the test carried out by the medical service is available: they are obliged to self-isolate only should their test be positive. Any person tested positive shall inform their close contacts. A flowchart to determine who is a close contact is available here.
- If you are a close contact, you should self-declare your situation via TRAMED and follow the instructions that will be given to you by the Medical Service. As of 1 July, contact case follow-up will fully align with the French rules, i.e. only one self-test will be required 48h after the last contact with the positive person. These self-tests will be made available at the Medical Service for those who declare their situation on TRAMED.
- Stratified testing for business continuity: self-tests will be made available at the Medical Service as of 1 July. Procedures are being defined, and will be communicated in due course.

JUNIOR'S CORNER
- Message from Junior representatives (Carolina, Hannah, Luca):
- Thanks to everyone who attended the LHC soft skills workshop "What I wish I knew when I was a PhD student/postdoc!". The recording of the session is now available on the indico page. In order to collect feedback, we kindly ask you to take a few minutes to answer the survey, also on the indico page.
- The Service Work Board is currently running a survey (Service Work for Juniors), which aims at receiving feedback on the Service Work system from the juniors community. Please, take the time to fill the survey since it affects most of the juniors in our collaboration and provides valuable feedback to the Service Work Board.
