Masks and vaccination records in São Paulo and in the campus
The state of São Paulo no longer requires the use of face masks, except in the health services, but wearing a mask inside the buildings of the University of São Paulo, airports and Brazilian flights is mandatory. We also recommend you to wear a mask in public transportation, shopping malls and generally indoors in public.
All students, faculty, staff and researchers are required to present their COVID-19 vaccination records for all activities in the University of São Paulo. You might also be asked to present you vaccination records in some places like museums, cinemas, etc.
Wash your hands
One of the most effective ways to prevent the spread of COVID-19 is to wash your hands often. We recommend the following key times to wash hands:
Before touching eyes, nose or mouth;
Before and after touching your face mast;
After touching objects or surfaces that may be frequently touched by other people
Wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or with a hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.
