Effective Tuesday (May 25), Southwestern Oklahoma State University will no longer require the use of masks or social distancing on campus locations or at any SWOSU-sponsored activity.
According to a press release issued by the university, anyone who wishes to mask indoors or outdoors may freely do so, and unvaccinated individuals are strongly encouraged to become vaccinated.
Officials say SWOSU plans can be adjusted, based on the status of the pandemic, and in accordance with CDC and Oklahoma State Department of Health recommendations. SWOSU will continue protocols for illness reporting and quarantine.
As announced earlier, SWOSU says they look forward a return to more normal operations this 2021 fall semester.
