Effective March 2, 2022, Kansas State University strongly encourages — but does not require — that everyone wear masks while indoors on university property. The university's updated face mask guidance is based on the newest Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidance for determining face mask requirements. Face masks are now optional for all individuals on K-State campuses and at university events.

According to the CDC guidance, people may choose to mask at any time, and high-risk individuals should consult with their health care providers, as should those who live with or care for higher risk people. Individuals who had exposure to someone with COVID-19 should also wear a mask. People with symptoms or a positive test should stay home.

Students, employees and visitors should self-assess their symptoms and should not come to campus if they are sick, have a temperature over 100.4 degrees F, or have other illness symptoms of the coronavirus as listed on the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, or CDC, website. Persons who develop any of these symptoms while on campus should leave and return to their local residence.

Students, employees and visitors should follow CDC guidance on:

• COVID-19 exposure.
• COVID-19 isolation and precautions.

Students, employees and visitors may be directed by health officials to enter isolation or quarantine for health reasons and must follow CDC guidance before returning to in-person university programs or activities.
