COVID-19 UPDATE

OSU COVID INFORMATION

1/25/22: N95 masks are available in the Physics Office upon request.

8/13/21: OSU has returned to a full face covering mandate for all indoor university spaces. This means that everyone needs to wear a mask at all times in Weniger Hall. The only exception is when a single individual is working alone in an office or lab with closed doors.The policy document can be found at https://policy.oregonstate.edu/UPSM/04-042_covid_safety_success. Thank you all for your collaboration keeping the physics community healthy.
