³ÉÈ˶¶Òõ

Dear ³ÉÈ˶¶ÒõEmployees,

As Salisbury University continues its COVID-19 precautions, please note the following:

• On Monday, February 14, the  (USM) shared that all USM campuses are “determining modifications” in a “step-down approach” to COVID-19 mitigation protocols. Based on USM guidance, the University Health Team has approved further relaxing SU’s face mask policy.
• Effective 3 p.m. Friday, February 18, face masks no longer will be required during normal operations in the following spaces:
  • Faculty and staff offices (masks must still be worn in common areas, such as hallways)
  • Meeting and conference rooms
  • East Campus facilities (including athletics complexes)
  • ³ÉÈ˶¶ÒõDowntown
  • Dining Commons
  • Guerrieri Student Union
  • Residence halls
• Face masks may be required during certain events, especially densely populated activities at which appropriate physical distancing may not be possible.
• KN95, KF94 or N95 masks remain required for students in all classrooms and instructional settings, and encouraged in all campus buildings.
  • Faculty and presenters are not required to wear masks in classrooms or instructional spaces when positioned at least six feet away from other individuals.
  • Free KN95 masks are available for ³ÉÈ˶¶Òõcommunity members at the Guerrieri Student Union Information Desk. Students and faculty will be asked to show their Gull Cards when requesting masks.
• You may choose to wear a mask if you wish to at other times, too, and we ask that all members of the ³ÉÈ˶¶Òõcommunity respect everyone who wishes to do so. We also ask that everyone wear a mask when requested and when they’re with others who are wearing a mask, as a courtesy.
• The University Health Team will continue to consider changes to SU’s face mask policy and other COVID-19 protocols as more information becomes available.

Questions about SU’s COVID-19 policies should be sent to StayInformed@salisbury.edu.

Please stay safe, and thank you for continuing to do your part to #ProtectTheFlock.
