Albertus Magnus College Updates COVID-19 Policy
Masks Required Indoors on Campus
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.
