COVID-19 Safety Guidelines
Mask/Face Covering
There is no longer a statewide requirement to wear a face mask in most settings. While masks are no longer required, many will choose to continue wearing a mask for health or other lawful reasons and will be supported by the Laker community for doing so. Masks are required regardless of vaccination status in all University health facilities—including the LSSU HealthCare Center and during Covid testing and vaccination clinics.
Hand Hygiene
Wash your hands with soap and water for 20 seconds multiple times each day or use hand sanitizer of at least 60% alcohol. Good hand hygiene continues to be an important strategy to keeping our Laker community healthy.
Personal/Social Responsibility
Actively encourage those around you to adhere to these guidelines while doing so yourself. Remember, we all have a role to play in preventing the spread of COVID-19.
Health Monitoring
