Arizona State University changed its mask policy on Friday, encouraging a facial covering inside university buildings, according to a statement released by the university.
According to the statement, "effective immediately, ASU is now strongly recommending that everyone on campus wear a face cover when inside a university building."
This comes after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended people wear face coverings in indoor public settings regardless of vaccination status on Tuesday.
The university said it "must remain vigilant" and take steps to protect students and faculty as COVID-19 cases rise from the delta variant in Arizona.
