COVID-19 Guideline Changes
Updated May 1, 2023
Vaccinations
WNE will no longer require COVID-19 vaccination. In accordance with CDC guidelines, WNE strongly recommends that all faculty, staff, and students remain up to date with COVID-19 vaccines in consultation with their primary care provider.
麻花视频 University will continue to follow all state and regulatory vaccination requirements and infectious disease guidelines.
Please Note: Faculty, staff, and students participating in off-campus clinical education rotations may need to be vaccinated per the rules of that institution.
Masks
WNE will be a mask-friendly campus and recommends that all faculty, staff, and students use a mask any time they are ill to decrease the spread of illness to others or for their own personal protection. Per state public health guidelines, the Center for Health and Well-Being—Health Services will continue to require a mask for those coming in for a visit and will have masks available if needed.
If you are feeling sick, we continue to recommend wearing a mask, contacting a healthcare provider for evaluation, and not attending class or socializing with others.

If you are having symptoms of illness, the Center for Health and Well-Being—Health Services remains available for infectious disease testing, including COVID-19, as warranted based upon clinical presentation.
Isolation
