Following this week\u2019s announcement by Gov. David Ige<\/a>, face coverings are no longer required outdoors when on a University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> campus or property. Face coverings are still recommended outdoors, when in large groups, and are still mandatory while indoors on a UH<\/abbr> campus or property.<\/p>\n

UH<\/abbr> is in the process of updating its COVID-19 guidelines for the 10-campus system, and the campus communities will be notified when the updated guidelines are finalized.<\/p>\n

The university announced on May 17<\/a> that the COVID-19 vaccination is being added to student health clearance requirements beginning in the fall 2021 semester. The vaccine requirement will take effect only after at least one of the three COVID-19 vaccines currently under emergency use authorization has been approved and fully licensed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, which is anticipated this summer.<\/p>\n

More information can be found on the UH<\/abbr> COVID-19 vaccination requirement for students FAQs<\/a>. Vaccination appointments at convenient locations can be found in Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span><\/a> and across the continental United States<\/a>.<\/p>\n
