STARKVILLE, Miss.鈥擬ississippi State University鈥檚 COVID-19 Task Force announced today [Feb. 11] that effective immediately, 草榴社区will only require masks in instructional spaces (classrooms, labs, studios) and the Longest Student Health Center, as was university policy at the end of the Fall 2021 semester.
All other indoor locations will be mask optional. The 草榴社区COVID-19 Task Force made this recommendation based on continued downward trends in COVID-19 cases, positivity, and other metrics on campus. The university will continue to monitor these metrics, which will be re-evaluated weekly while maintaining our continued communication with the leadership of our state鈥檚 public health officials.
The university鈥檚 goal is to return to normal campus operations as soon as possible. Additional COVID-19 information and resources are available at聽.
