Ohio University revises mask policy and updates protocol for fall semester 2022

Ohio University has revised its mask policy for fall semester 2022. The new policy, which is effective immediately, will continue to be based on Centers for Disease Control and Prevention COVID-19 Community Levels:

• High: Masks are required during scheduled class and class-related activities in classrooms, laboratories, studios, clinical settings, other learning spaces, and the Child Development Center.
• Medium: Masks are recommended during scheduled class and class-related activities in classrooms, laboratories, studios, clinical settings, other learning spaces, and the Child Development Center.
• Low: Masks are optional on campus.

Please note that regardless of community level, masks may still be required in some settings:

• Clinical healthcare facilities including Campus Care
• COVID-19 testing facilities
• Where masks are not required, students, faculty, and staff who test positive or are exposed to COVID-19 must follow masking guidelines outlined in the OHIO COVID-19 Protocol, which have been newly updated in accordance with new CDC guidelines.
