Wearing face masks in classrooms, shared laboratories, other instructional spaces and tightly confined educational spaces (such as advising offices), will continue to be required at all University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> campuses for the 2022 summer sessions. Following the increase in COVID-19 cases across the state, the continuation of existing masking requirements was recommended by UH<\/abbr> medical and public health experts and the State of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> Department of Health and affirmed by UH<\/abbr> Officers and administration officials on all campuses. A decision on whether the requirement will remain in place for the fall 2022 semester is expected by mid-August.<\/p>\n
