Following an extension of an order from the Lincoln-Lancaster County Health Department, the University of Nebraska–Lincoln community will continue to wear masks when indoors.
The policy will remain in effect for the duration of the county’s directed health measures. Due to local COVID-19 trends in hospitalizations, positivity rate and other factors, county health officials have extended the Lincoln-Lancaster County mask mandate to Feb. 25. The extension was announced by local health officials on Feb. 8.
The facial mask requirement will be implemented as it has been previously followed on campus.
Details on the university’s ongoing response to COVID-19, including an overview of the face covering policy, are available here.
