The Diplomacy Center Foundation’s highest priority is the health and welfare of our staff, donors, and supporters of NMAD. As the situation surrounding novel coronavirus (COVID-19) evolves, we are continually monitoring and evaluating developments, as well as taking precautions as suggested by the Center for Disease Control (CDC) and local health and government authorities. Our staff continues to work from home, and the Diplomacy Center Foundation remains fully operational.
At this time, the Diplomacy Center Foundation is not offering in-person programs. Until further notice, all Foundation programs will take place virtually. We continue to reassess whether future events will be postponed or canceled based on guidelines from the CDC, the District of Columbia Health Advisory, and other government officials. Please check diplomacycenterfoundation.org/news/covid-19 for up-to-date information about changes to the Foundation’s operation as a result of COVID-19. Any changes to future operations and programs will be communicated via email, our website, and social media channels. The National Museum of American Diplomacy (NMAD) has temporarily closed their Friday open house tours and in-person programming.
We are encouraging everyone to remain cautious and follow hygiene practices as published by the CDC:
- Wear a mask over your nose and mouth
- Stay 6 feet away from others, avoid crowds, and avoid poorly ventilated spaces
- Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands
- Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue or the inside of your elbow, then throw the used tissues in the trash and immediately wash your hands
- Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces daily
- Monitor your health daily and be alert for symptoms
If you have any questions regarding future programs, please contact us at [email protected] or visit our website for the latest updates.
