Current Mask Requirements

EWU follows the Department of Health and Department of Labor and Industries’ requirements for masks.


Masks

  • Masks are optional in most indoor and outdoor spaces.
  • Anyone who wishes to continue wearing a mask is encouraged to do so.
  • EWU asks that everyone be understanding, respectful and considerate of individual choices to mask or not to mask.
  • Masks are still required in the following situations:
    • In medical facilities on campus, including the Counseling & Wellness Center, dental hygiene clinic, speech and hearing clinic, and any other medical care facilities on campus.
    • On public transportation when required by federal law.
    • Early Head Start program per federal requirements.
  • To maintain consistency throughout campus, individual departments and employees are not permitted to have their own mask rules.
