Sewanee Masking Requirement
What Are The Rules For Wearing Masks On Campus?
All Sewanee residents and visitors are required to wear face coverings over their nose and mouth when in public or inside buildings other than private residences, with five exceptions:
When they are alone,
When they are asleep (such as in a residence hall room or hotel room),
When they are eating or drinking,
When they are maintaining a social distance of six feet or more from any other person, and
If they have a documented medical condition that precludes their wearing a face covering.
Certain events or facilities may have additional masking rules. You should always have a mask with you—and when in doubt, wear your mask. The cloth face coverings recommended are not surgical masks, PPE, medical face masks or respirators. Currently, those are critical supplies that should be reserved for healthcare workers and first responders.
The University has set up a website with information on Sewanee’s COVID-19 handling–including interim policies, campus updates, and plans for the current academic semester at https://new.sewanee.edu/2019-novel-coronavirus-cov...
