We just moved into the third year of the COVID-19 pandemic, and with the three-pronged safety and health policies in place at Knox – requiring all campus community members to be vaccinated and boosted unless there is a medical or religious exemption, regular testing, and wearing of masks required indoors – the pandemic currently seems to be burning out on our campus. Starting Saturday, April 16, we will be going mask optional in most indoor areas on campus. Check the Knox Together pages on knox.edu for more information. We continue to be ready to pivot and update our policies as needed to ensure our campus is as safe and healthy as possible.
