University System to require masks on Georgia campuses beginning July 15th

For a time over the past couple of weeks the University System of Georgia was becoming more and more an exception among major university systems in not requiring face coverings for those returning to campus this fall. But no more.

“Effective July 15, 2020, University System of Georgia (USG) institutions will require all faculty, staff, students, and visitors to wear an appropriate face covering while inside campus facilities/buildings where six feet social distancing may not always be possible.” https://t.co/e4IeWJSpPJ
