Mandatory indoor masking will continue through May 13

Dear Skidmore Community,
 
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has now classified the COVID-19 Community Level in Saratoga County, NY as “高” and recommends wearing a mask indoors in public and getting tested if you have symptoms. Additional, detailed guidance can be 在这里找到. In line with CDC guidance, and in an effort to end the semester as safely and successfully as possible, the College is extending our current indoor masking requirement through 至少 Friday, May 13. At that time, the College will assess CDC guidelines and provide an update. 
 
As a reminder, KN95 masks (or equivalent masks, i.e. N95 or KF94) are required in all indoor public spaces, subject to previously approved exceptions. Free KN95 masks continue to be available to all in numerous locations across campus and will be made easily accessible at all events and gatherings. Indoor gatherings with food and drink continue to be permitted, but may include additional safety and testing measures as conveyed by the event organizers, as noted in the April 11 message. 
 
Free rapid tests are always available to students at Campus Safety by calling ahead, or by appointment at Health Services for individuals who are symptomatic. Drop-in PCR testing remains available to all students, faculty, and staff from noon to 6 p.m. on Tuesdays 和8a.m. to noon on Wednesdays in Sussman Village Apartment A1. 
 
As always, thank you for your continued attention to these guidelines and for your support of one another. To all our students, I wish you a successful conclusion of classes and best of luck with your upcoming exams.           
 
Sincerely,

Marc Conner
