Good morning, From the U of M COVID update site: UM community members should continue to follow UM’s current masking and social distancing protocols when on campus. As a reminder, the wearing of 3-ply reusable or disposable masks is mandatory for all activities on all UM campuses. This applies when indoors at all times on UM campuses even when physical distancing is possible. A 3-ply mask is also required when outdoors on UM campuses or while participating in UM-sanctioned activities off-campus at any time when two metres distancing is not possible. Thanks, Bev Bev Godard Secretary to the Department Head Department of Plant Science University of Manitoba 204-474-8563 Bev.godard(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:Bev.godard@umanitoba.ca>
