Wearing A Mask

Why is wearing a mask important?

Wearing a mask is completely about protecting the people around you, including our high-risk friends and family. When masks are widely used in public spaces, spread of COVID-19 can be reduced. Masks/face coverings act as a simple barrier to help prevent expired vapor from traveling into the air and onto other people when the person wearing the mask coughs, sneezes, talks, or raises their voice.

When do I need to wear a mask on campus?

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that people wear masks/face coverings in public settings when around people outside of their household, especially when other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain. You should wear your mask in all public areas of campus (classrooms, hallways, dining facilities, etc).
