Tritons wear face masks

In alignment with local public health mandates, the University of Missouri–St. Louis requires all faculty, staff, students, vendors and visitors age five and older to wear a face mask when entering or occupying a physical building or facility owned, operated or managed by the university regardless of vaccination status. Additionally, face coverings are required when utilizing campus shuttles. Wearing face masks outdoors, especially in group settings, is strongly encouraged.

While wearing a face mask is an additional step to help slow the spread of COVID-19, getting vaccinated (including boosters) is the safest and quickest way to protect your own health and that of your family, friends and our community. If you have not yet done so, please join a vaccination event or schedule your appointment today.

Let's all do our part to start safe and stay safe. Learn more at www.umsl.edu/staysafe.
