While the Province of Prince Edward Island lifted its mask mandate on May 6, UPEI has adopted a more cautionary approach. As was communicated in a message to the campus community on April 12, the mandatory mask requirement at the University remains in effect until the end of the first summer session (June 21). Masks are mandatory in all indoor spaces on campus. However, people may remove their mask if they are seated and a minimum of six feet/two metres from others.

As well, the campus community is asked to continue other preventative health measures, including vaccination, good hand and respiratory hygiene, physical distancing, and staying home when ill. Physical distancing is no longer mandated, but people are encouraged to maintain distancing when possible.

Thank you for continuing to make the campus community a safe and collegial workplace. We will continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation and make necessary adjustment to protocols as needed.
