Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Answer doesn't give a firm yes or no, but does stipulate that only "absolutely necessary participants" should be at meetings and how far apart they should be. There are also several steps outlines for holding safe face-to-face meetings.
This offers solutions and alternative to face-to-face meetings and says it will reduce transmission.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Answer concerns itself with safety guidelines involving face-to-face meetings and does not overtly say that they should be avoided. Point #1 could be interpreted to say that meetings should be held remotely but that is up to the individual's discretion at this point.
duplicate to #1 & #2. It states that meeting should be conducted in alternative ways to reduce transmission.
