APSU reinstates mask mandate while inside campus buildings
CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – Beginning Wednesday, Aug. 11, Austin Peay State University will reinstate a mask requirement for the campus’ indoor facilities. President Mike Licari announced the change Tuesday in an email to APSU faculty, staff and students.
“We made this decision after consulting with current Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines for higher education institutions and after discussions with members of the APSU community,” Licari said.
Masks do not need to be worn outside, in private offices, individual study/practice rooms or in residence halls.
“With cases increasing throughout our region, and as we approach the start of the semester, this serves as a reminder that the best defense against COVID-19 and its variants is a vaccine,” Licari said.
Austin Peay continues to provide COVID-19 PCR testing to the APSU community from 7 a.m.-noon, Monday-Thursday, in the drive-thru around the Ard Building. Walk-up testing is also available.
COVID-19 vaccines also are available by appointment from 1-3 p.m. on Thursday afternoons. If that vaccination time is not accommodating, APSU’s Boyd Health Services team will try to work with individuals to get a more convenient time.
