      Why we need to know the tips to do conference calls when video calls are the big new thing? Because conference calls (meetings that take place by phone) are still a thing, too--and, like video calls, they can be a mess! Often, you're dealing with bad tech, background noise, people popping on and off, dueling egos, and different time zones.
      Planning is key to running a good meeting--and that goes double for conference calls. Here are several tips for you to arrange conference call properly:

• Practice Making Your Point
  Know the points you want to make and practice them out loud before the call. This will give you confidence and help you find the clearest way to state your message. Make sure, as you practice, to deliver your most important point first.
• Anticipate Questions
  In addition to thinking about what you want to say, try to anticipate the questions you might be asked.
• Stand Up
  When it's your turn to speak, try standing up. Standing up lets air and energy flow through your body; you'll sound and feel more authoritative.

      So there you have it. You don't have to just grin and bear your next conference call. Apply these conference call tips, and you will shine on every call.

      General recommendations for personal hygiene, cough etiquette and keeping distance of at least one meter from persons showing symptoms remain particularly important for all travelers.
These include:

• Perform hand hygiene frequently, particularly after contact with respiratory secretions. Hand hygiene includes either cleaning hands with soap and water or with an alcohol-based hand rub. Alcohol-based hand rubs are preferred if hands are not visibly soiled; wash hands with soap and water when they are visibly soiled;
• Cover your nose and mouth with a flexed elbow or paper tissue when coughing or sneezing and disposing immediately of the tissue and performing hand hygiene;
• Refrain from touching mouth and nose;
• A medical mask is not required if exhibiting no symptoms, as there is no evidence that wearing a mask--of any type--protects non-stick people. However, in some cultures, masks may be commonly worn. If masks are to be worn, it is critical to follow best practices on how to wear, remove and dispose of them and on hand hygiene after removal;
• Stay at home if there is no urgent activity. As for any travel, travelers are also advised to follow proper food hygiene practices, including the five keys for food safety, as well as recommendations to reduce the risk of transmission of emerging pathogens from animal to human in live markets.
