Lewis-Clark State College will test an amended facial mask policy on campus beginning Friday.
LC President Dr. Cynthia Pemberton says under the new protocol, wearing face coverings will continue to be recommended — especially for people who are not vaccinated or boosted — but not required. Employees may, however, require masks to be worn in their classes or offices.
Pemberton says the school will monitor infection rate data, and if rates spike in response to the test drive or in another virus variant surge the face covering requirement will be reinstated.
