Albertus Magnus College Updates COVID-19 Policy

New Haven, Conn., August 2, 2021 –  Effective August 1, 2021, Albertus Magnus College is reinstating a mandatory indoor facemask policy on campus for all students, faculty, staff, and visitors, regardless of vaccination status.  This policy change is in direct response to guidance from Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont and New Haven Mayor Justin Elicker regarding increases in local area COVID-19 infection rates, in line with the CDC’s recently revised guidelines.

While this policy applies only to indoor areas on campus, please be vigilant when outdoors, avoid gathering in large groups, and maintain appropriate social distancing.  The COVID-19 Workgroup will continue to monitor the situation locally and will revisit policies as conditions change.

As Albertus President Dr. Camille reminded the Falcon Family in his recent video, the best protection against the COVID-19 virus is to be vaccinated, particularly with the increase of the Dela variant in this region.  For those who have not yet received their vaccination, please see the Albertus calendar for the next available clinic on campus provided by Griffin Health.  As a reminder, proof of immunization (or an approved exemption) is required for employment or to study on campus.
