Q: If our vaccination numbers are so high and the prevalence of COVID-19 on our campuses is so low, can our status move to “green” on the dashboard? When can we end the indoor masking policy?
A: The university believes that widespread vaccinations among students and employees and the indoor masking policy have both played a major role in keeping positive cases on UConn’s campuses so low. Given the continued unpredictability of COVID-19 and the prevalence of the Delta variant, and the “breakthrough” infections associated with it, keeping UConn’s alert level at orange and maintaining the indoor masking policy is the prudent thing to do at this time to help keep our community healthy and the number of cases on our campuses low.
