Rutgers University plans to keep its mask and vaccine mandate in place for the fall semester, citing risks of both the Chinese coronavirus as well as monkeypox.
higher cases of the virus per capita than mask-free states such as Florida for months on end in 2021.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, on Capitol Hill in Washington, Tuesday, May 17, 2022. Nevertheless, Rutgers is accepting coronavirus as a “permanent part of our daily lives” but announced it will “maintain its COVID-19 safety protocols on face coverings, vaccines and boosters, testing, and quarantining and isolation.” As a result, students and teachers will continue to comply with forced masking in all indoor teaching spaces, and students and employees must be “fully vaccinated” and receive a booster shot “when eligible.
Rutgers also provided a note about monkeypox, deeming it a “significant new public health concern in the U.S. that should be taken seriously.” However, they admit it is “much less contagious” than the coronavirus and is “typical spread through close skin-to-skin contact with an infected person and not by casual exposure.” Despite the warnings, the university itself will not be offering treatments for monkeypox.
“The university will continue to monitor both viruses and will update these important protocols throughout the fall semester,” it added.
