SUBJECT: Vandals Strongly Encouraged to Wear Masks Indoors
CDC guidance released this week advises all people, regardless of COVID-19 vaccination status, to wear masks indoors. As a result, all Vandals are strongly encouraged to wear a mask in all university buildings statewide, unless you are alone in your workspace.
We continue to monitor the increase of the Delta variant in our state and will work with Public Health and Gritman Medical Center to determine what is best for our institution as we near the start of the fall semester.
All Vandals are strongly encouraged to be vaccinated. Vaccines have proven to be safe and effective, according to the CDC. Vaccine sites are readily available across the state, and the vaccination is free.
This situation is evolving quickly, and you can expect further guidance regarding fall semester safety protocols in the coming weeks.
Keep Calm and Vandal On.
