Arizona State University will once again be requiring the use of face masks in all classrooms and research labs during this upcoming fall semester, reported ABC 15.
The school said in a press release that it fully plans to remain consistent with CDC guidelines for colleges and universities. This includes requiring facial coverings in crowded and public spaces. The press release states:
"In addition, face coverings will be required in close-quarter environments where physical distancing may not be possible. These include the following:
- All ASU clinical programs and centers that serve the general public, such as the ASU Health Centers, Child Development Laboratory, and Counselor Training Center (the “Programs”), whether on- or off-campus.
- Meeting rooms, workshop, design or production studios, and other indoor settings where social distancing is not possible.
- All other indoor areas designated by posted signage."
Face coverings may also be required at some "crowded outdoor settings or activities" as well.
The university is continuing to strongly recommend that all students, faculty, and staff receive the COVID-19 vaccination.
