Based on U-M’s high vaccination rates and the fact that the State of Michigan is moving from a response phase to a recovery phase in the pandemic, the university is able to reduce the indoor mask requirement. Under the latest guidance from the CDC, mask use is not listed among the recommended prevention behavior guidance for individuals in areas with a “Medium” COVID-19 Community Level, which is the current level for Washtenaw County. Masks remain an option for anyone seeking additional protection from COVID-19.
