FAQs about COVID-19

Masks are optional on UB’s campuses in most settings:

• Students, faculty, staff and visitors, regardless of vaccination status, will no longer be required to wear masks in most settings, indoors or outdoors. 
• Anyone who wishes to continue wearing a mask in a classroom, office or any other campus space is encouraged to do so. 
• Masks will continue to be mandatory for everyone aboard UB buses and shuttles and in clinical health care settings (e.g. UB Health Services, Dental School facilities, on-campus testing sites) on campus.
• UB faculty, staff and students who work or learn at hospitals, nursing homes, clinics or diagnostic and treatment centers off campus must continue to comply with any site-specific regulations in place.

Remember: There are many reasons that individuals may continue to wear a mask, including those who are:

• Unvaccinated 
• Immunocompromised
• Living with someone at higher risk

Please be kind and respectful toward others in our UB community.
