ST. PAUL, Minn. – Public colleges and universities in Minnesota will be requiring masks to be worn on campuses to help stop the spread of COVID-19 as the delta variant of the virus is surging.
The University of Minnesota is requiring that all students, employees and visitors at its five campuses wear masks indoors starting Tuesday, regardless of their vaccination status. The Minnesota State public college system says mask mandates will be implemented at campuses that are located in counties with high transmission rates.
Health Commissioner Jan Malcolm said 44 counties now fall under the CDC’s high transmission categories where vaccinated people are recommended to mask indoors.
