Mask Guidance

Per OHA Rule 33-019-1011, masks are required in healthcare settings.

As of March 12, 2022, the following OSU locations require masks:

• Student Health Services (SHS), Plageman Building
• Counseling & Psychological Services (CAPS), 500 Snell Hall

As OSU has done throughout the pandemic, we plan to remain aligned with OHA and guidance provided by local public health authorities. This stance is consistent with our practice throughout the pandemic. Ongoing mask use is welcomed and encouraged for some individuals. As always, we will continue to evaluate future masking needs in consultation with local health authorities.
