Greater Columbus Convention Center Statement on the Coronavirus

The Greater Columbus Convention Center continues to closely monitor the latest developments regarding the Coronavirus (COVID-19) globally and any potential impact it may have on our day-to-day operations. In response to growing awareness and concern, the Greater Columbus Convention Center continues to follow the precautionary guidelines of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and other public health organizations, which include:

  • Increased signage outlining advisable precautions (e.g. frequent handwashing, safety recommendations, etc.)
  • Regular cleaning with CDC recommended products of high-touchpoint areas such as escalator handrails, stair railings, door handles, purchase devices and elevator buttons.
  • Regular cleaning and sanitizing of facility public spaces and restrooms.
  • Adding additional hand sanitizer stations in various locations throughout the facility.

Providing a safe environment for our clients, visitors, guests and staff is our top priority. Through public health organizations such as the CDC and the World Health Organization (WHO), we are staying abreast of the latest updates and developments as they occur. We are also in close communication with our local public health and government officials to determine what additional safeguards may need to be implemented.

This is an evolving situation, and rest assured that any actions we take will be consistent with guidelines from these agencies.  Please continue to visit our website to learn of any changes to the event schedule as they become available.
