Update on mask wearing policy in classrooms

Latest Update: April 27, 2021

Changes have been made to the Provincial Health Officer Workplace and Post-secondary Institution Safety Order in response to an increase in community transmission and COVID-19 cases, and to support the WorkSafeBC requirement for COVID-19 Safety Plans to ensure consistent mask wearing in indoor common areas.

Effective immediately, masks are mandatory at all times within all class spaces in post-secondary institutions. Masks may no longer be removed when seated at a physically distanced desk.

The order outlines exceptions for very specific circumstances only.
