SUBJECT: Mask Requirement Remains Through End of Year
Congratulations to all who are graduating this weekend, and good luck to all students during Exam Week.
We have been advised by Idaho Public Health and Gritman Medical Center that they, for the second week in a row, saw an uptick in COVID-19 cases in Moscow. Because of this, we will maintain our mask requirement in all buildings on the Moscow campus through Monday, Jan.3, 2022. Masking requirements across the state will be decided by leadership in those areas as previously described. At any location requiring masks, you may remove your mask in shared-office workspace where more than six feet of distance can be constantly maintained.
We will continue to monitor the situation and will review all our COVID-19 protocols. Protocols for Spring 2022 will be broadly communicated before classes begin Wednesday, Jan.12, and will beupdated on our website.
Thank you for your continued attention to these protocols. We are looking forward to the possibility of eliminating them as we near what we hope is the end of the pandemic.
We hope you enjoy some much-deserved downtime during Winter Break. Rest. Relax. Have fun. Then come back ready to engage in everything UofI has to offer in Spring 2022.
Keep Calm and Vandal On.
