LOS ANGELES - Citing rising COVID-19 cases across the county and on campus, UCLA Friday will reinstate an indoor mask-wearing mandate for all students, staff and visitors at campus facilities.
"Last week alone, UCLA had close to 870 new cases, which, per the UCLA COVID-19 Pivot Matrix, would place us at the `severe' level," according to a letter sent to the campus community by UCLA Vice Chancellor Michael J. Beck and Professor Megan McEvoy, co-chairs of the UCLA COVID-19 Response and Recovery Task Force.
"It is important for us to respond to the current trends so that we can reduce the risk of infection without disruption to in-person learning and campus activities, including commencement celebrations," they wrote.
In addition to requiring masks in all campus buildings and UCLA-owned facilities, the directive strongly recommends masks in off-campus indoor settings. The message to the campus stated that "off-campus indoor gatherings should be reconsidered if limited mask wearing is expected, such as where there is eating and drinking."
