Updates from the COVID-19 Task Force
Guidance Regarding Masks
Given the recent Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidance and in consultation with the 青青草视频 COVID-19 task force, faculty and student leadership, beginning June 2nd, employees and students are no longer required to wear a mask when indoors, including classrooms, if fully vaccinated. Anyone who is not fully vaccinated should continue to wear a mask while in classrooms, teaching laboratories, and studio settings. We encourage everyone to be supportive of those employees or students who need to or choose to continue to wear a mask.
Vaccine Requirements
Mississippi State urges all students and employees to be fully vaccinated. Vaccinations are our best defense against the spread of COVID-19 and persons who are fully vaccinated are not required to quarantine if exposed to someone with COVID-19 unless they become symptomatic. Vaccines are readily available via or and across our community including OCH Regional Medical Center, Walmart and Kroger stores.
