Sponsor Visits
About
Updated July 13, 2023
Onsite sponsor/monitor visits are permitted in clinical and non-clinical areas. There continues to be no limit on the number of representatives that can visit, however, we encourage you to limit the visitors to the minimum number required. Sponsor visitors are required to adhere to all mask requirements.
