Just a reminder, effective July 15, 2020, all University System of Georgia Institutions, including VSU, will require all faculty, staff, students, and visitors to wear an appropriate face covering while inside campus facilities and buildings, since social distancing may not always be possible.
Face covering use will be in addition to - and is not a substitute for - social distancing.
Additionally, the USG has announced updated definitions and guidance for populations at high risk for COVID-19.
Detailed information on the high-risk population and masking announcements may be found www.valdosta.edu/health-advisory/campus-messages.php
