Instructors with eligible classrooms who are planning to teach without a mask must also meet other requirements. Only one lecturer in the classroom may remove their mask at a given time. The unmasked instructor must:
- Be fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
- Have no symptoms of COVID-19.
- Have no close contact with an infected person in the past 10 days.
- Be current on all required COVID-19 testing.
- Complete a COVID-19 test via Color at least twice weekly (even if their usual testing cadence is less frequent).
You must inform your students of your decision in advance using the provided language. "In accordance with University guidance, the lecturer of this course will be removing their face covering for the purposes of instruction only. A distance of six feet from all class participants will be maintained at all times while unmasked. Per University policy, face coverings are required for all other classroom participants." You only need to communicate this to students once – you do not need to inform students each time you teach without a mask.
