Two people participating in RSA 2020 conference have tested positive for COVID-19

The organizer of the RSA Security Conference said on Tuesday that two participants who participated in the RSA Cybersecurity Conference in San Francisco last month have been diagnosed with respiratory diseases caused by COVID-19. A statement on the website reads: “We recently learned that two individuals tested positive for COVID-19, who attended RSA Conference, which started on Monday February 24th. Out of an abundance of caution, we want to share this information with you so you can take necessary steps to monitor your own situation.

It is prudent that the RSA conference organizer has shared the above information with the participants and proactively contacted local health authorities.

The organizer of the RSA Security Conference writes

To date, no official governing body has communicated with RSA Conference that these individuals had symptoms at the RSA Conference event or attended during the COVID-19 incubation period. We are in contact with the relevant health authorities to provide them with the necessary information to complete their investigation and are following their guidance on how to proceed.
