大峡谷将新冠肺炎预警级别调至 0级  This means that face masks will be optional in all campus locations, 包括教室和其他学术空间.

教师 members can request their students wear face masks in class but cannot make it a requirement. 的re still may be unique situations where face masks are required, 比如那些由政府监管的.

We underst和 this will be a significant change to what we are accustomed to. Some members of the campus community will choose to continue to wear face masks, 和 they should be supported by all Lakers for doing so. 教师 和 staff can require masks to be worn in their private offices.

Gr和 Valley获得了10个,000个KN95口罩和10个,000 medical procedure (ASTM 1) masks for campus community members who wish to wear these. Departments can order these masks through the normal PPE requisition process through 设施和服务. 更多的口罩正在订购中，预计很快就会推出. We will do everything possible to ensure adequate mask availability despite supply chain pressure.

学生 can pick up these types of masks at the following locations. 供应将在每个工作日补充.

艾伦代尔校区: Recreation Center, Mary Idema Pew Library, Kirkhof Center;

皮尤大急流城校区: 埃伯哈德中心，停车服务台. 

近200,000 non-medical three-ply disposable masks continue to be available (these are the masks that have been supplied since the p和emic began). For most people on campus, these masks are sufficient, as are the washable cloth masks (two-ply). 

重要的掩码细节:
• A KN95 improperly worn is not safer than a cloth mask worn properly.
• A disposable three-ply mask worn with a two-ply cloth mask is equivalent to a KN95 mask for protection.
• Some people will not tolerate a KN95 mask 和 find it 困难 to breathe, 并可能放松他们的面具. 的y may find the double-mask option more tolerable.
• A clean KN95 that is properly cared for should last for five days.

• Those unable to wear a face covering due to a medical condition should contact Disability 支援资源(DSR).
• 学生, faculty 和 staff with weakened immune systems should discuss their activities 和 precautions they need to take to prevent 新型冠状病毒肺炎 with their health care providers. 目前, the CDC recommends continued masking 和 physical distancing for individuals with weakened immune systems.
• 学生, faculty 和 staff are encouraged to wear masks or avoid 拥挤的, 户外活动, 就像现场表演一样, 游行, or sports event that might carry higher risk of 新型冠状病毒肺炎 transmission especially among unvaccinated individuals.
• 教师, staff 和 students are responsible for laundering their face coverings 和 properly disposing of one-time use masks
• Compliance is facilitated primarily through proactive, 正在进行的教育, 沟通, 建模和减少障碍.
