President Scott Green has announced COVID-19 policies for the University of Idaho this fall. The decision comes due to the uptick of COVID-19 variants over the summer.
Masking is still optional on campus and in university facilities, with free rapid tests and masks available at information desks. Green also encouraged getting vaccinated and to report when you test positive.
In an email, Green also stated that while the spread of the monkeypox virus is being regulated by Idaho Public Health, it does not appear to be an issue for the Vandal community.
“We also will continue to support each of you in doing what is best for you and your health,” Green stated. “Taking individual responsibility for your health is important.”
