Thanks for bringing this up. We have not had any discussions about this yet but I am eager to learn how others are coping. It seems to me that our new hires for Fall 2023 do not need to be screened, which is a relief. Research staff and postdocs would be another
matter. I am not usually in the loop on those hires, especially postdocs.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
Ramu<br>
