CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The University of North Carolina - Charlotte announced that it will require face masks in all indoor spaces on campus starting Monday.
The school said the decision comes after the rapid increase in COVID-19 cases, including the high rate of transmission in Mecklenburg County, according to health officials.
The university said the mask requirement does not impact the school’s plan to return for the fall semester.
The mask requirement is for all students and staff, regardless of vaccination status.
It applies to all spaces, including Atkins Library, dining halls, recreational facilities, common spaces and residence halls. The only exception is when students are in their personal residence hall room.
