Michigan State University to lift mask/vaccine requirements for athletic events

Michigan State University is lifting its mask and COVID-19 vaccine requirements for athletic events, beginning with the men’s basketball game versus the Maryland Terrapins at the Breslin Center on March 6.

For all campus events prior to March 6, masks and proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test within 72 hours of the event are still required. MSU originally put the proof of vaccination/negative test policy in place on Jan. 1, but will no longer require it as of March 6.

Masks had been required in campus buildings since 2020 and will no longer be mandatory except in in instructional settings (including in all classrooms, academic labs and shared research spaces) during course instruction and research activities.
