The university loosened COVID-19 restrictions in accordance with new guidance from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Fully vaccinated university members are now allowed to remove their masks when meeting indoors with other fully vaccinated individuals. All individuals within meetings must be fully vaccinated to be able to remove their masks. If a meeting includes both vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals, masks are required to be worn by all attendees.

Masks must continue to be worn in indoor common areas of U of L.

“A fully vaccinated status is defined as being vaccinated for at least two weeks since the second dose of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine or two weeks since the single dose of the J&J vaccine,” the university said.
