MARQUETTE, MI— Northern Michigan University has revised its mask requirements.
The CDC recently said people in parts of the country that have low or medium numbers of COVID-19 cases don’t have to wear a mask indoors. Marquette County is currently listed as “medium.”
Effective Tuesday, masks will continue to be required in all classrooms and labs, but are no longer required in other indoor areas at NMU. Masks are strongly recommended for those with compromised immune systems, and those who are more comfortable wearing a mask may do so.
Officials note students, faculty and staff must be prepared to revert back to required mask wearing throughout campus should COVID positive cases on campus or in the community increase significantly.
