After careful consideration, the management of the South African Radio Astronomy Observatory (SARAO) has decided to postpone the forthcoming MeerKAT Open Day scheduled for 25 March 2020 until further notice.

This is a precautionary measure following the outbreak of the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) which has spread to many parts of the world and has been declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization.

The new date for the next MeerKAT Open Day will be announced in due course.

The SARAO Communications Unit will be in touch with you regarding refunds of the attending fee that you have paid for Open Day.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused and hope that we will see you at a MeerKAT Open Day to be held in future.

For enquiries contact the SARAO Communications Unit on +27(0) 21 506-7424/7395/7409 or email events@ska.ac.za.
