Austin Peay State University has ended its year-long requirement that individuals socially distance and wear face masks on campus.
The university originally developed its COVID-19 protocols last year in accordance with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s guidelines at the time.
Because of updated federal guidelines, APSU moved from operating at a moderate risk level to operating under a normal risk level. For some of you, today’s announcement will come as a relief, while others may feel anxious about the future, Michael Licari, APSU president, said in a campus email. In the last several months, Austin Peay and Montgomery County have administered tens of thousands of COVID-19 vaccines, and I strongly encourage everyone to get vaccinated. Vaccines will continue to be available by appointment through Boyd Health Services.
