<div dir="ltr"><div>hey Joe,</div><div><br></div><div>We are collecting data for about 2.5 months at the University of Groningen (Netherlands). There are Covid-19 regulations which we take seriously.

Just curious how everyone is dealing with data collection during this<br>
new wave of covid cases. I've managed to postpone most data<br>
collection until now, but I'm starting to feel the crunch on a couple<br>
of projects (including a revise and resubmit insisting on extra data).<br>
I have seen guidelines on how to minimize risk, but is there really a<br>
safe pathway for data collection at the moment? Our university is<br>
still open but requires temperature checks at the entrance and masks<br>
at all times. I have gauze for the headrest and cleaning material for<br>
the experiment room after every subject. I can additionally wait 45<br>
minutes between subjects.<br>
Even with all these measures, I still feel like the only 100% solution<br>
is to postpone. Thoughts? advice?<br>
Joe<br>
