MARQUETTE, MI— Northern Michigan University is reinstating its mask mandate for classes and labs.
Marquette County was recently moved into the CDC’s high transmission category for COVID-19 because of the rising number of cases.
President Kerri Schuiling says although the CDC recommends wearing a mask in all indoor settings for high-transmission areas, NMU is only mandating masks for classrooms and labs starting Monday, August 1. Case numbers on campus remain moderate.
The university is encouraging people to wear a mask when indoors, but it remains a personal choice outside of close quarters like classes and labs.
