Face Mask Requirements

Updated October 14

Effective Friday, October 14, all college and Veterinary Health System spaces are face mask encouraged, but not required. This change does not impact mask requirements for individuals who tested positive for COVID-19 or have been exposed to someone with COVID-19. Please make sure to review the Safe and Healthy Buckeyes website to understand when masks are required. Please also continue to wear a mask if you wish. In order to maintain a healthy learning and working environment as flu and cold season approaches, continue to be considerate of those around you, wear a mask when necessary and stay home if you’re not feeling well.
