We recently received official notice from CME. I'm not sure if they have something on their site about it yet, but I'm sure they will soon.

I am sorry if this seems like a very silly question but I am looking for information on E-Mini lot size and the upfront margin required. Could you please guide me where I can find this information? Thank you.

On the CME homepage you get all the information you need to know: https://www.cmegroup.com/trading/equity-index/us-index/e-mini-sandp500_quotes_volume_voi.html#tradeDate=20200102

If you have questions, you should always use the search-tool, so you can get posts with similar question
