天天吃瓜

Face Coverings No Longer Required on Any Campus

Dear 天天吃瓜 Students, Faculty and Staff,

Cuyahoga County, where 天天吃瓜 State鈥檚 College of Podiatric Medicine, the Cleveland Foot and Ankle Clinic and the Cleveland Urban Design Collaborative are located, has been lowered from  鈥渉igh鈥 to 鈥渕edium鈥 community level designation for COVID-19 as defined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

As a result of this change in designation, face coverings are no longer required indoors at these Cuyahoga County locations. Currently, no counties where 天天吃瓜 State has campuses or locations are at the high-level designation.

As we previously informed our university community, we are following CDC recommendations for counties at 鈥渉igh,鈥 鈥渕edium鈥 or 鈥渓ow鈥 community levels when making determinations for safety precautions on our campuses.

In counties at a 鈥渉igh鈥 community-level designation, the CDC recommends:

  • Wear a mask indoors in public.
  • Stay up to date with COVID-19 vaccines.
  • Get tested if you show any virus symptoms.
  • Those at high risk for severe illness may want to take additional safety precautions.

Ashtabula, Cuyahoga, Geauga and Trumbull counties, where 天天吃瓜 State has campuses or locations, are currently at the 鈥渕edium鈥 level. We will continue to monitor COVID-19 levels in all the counties where we have campuses or locations and will adjust our requirements and recommendations according to CDC guidelines.

天天吃瓜 State will always make the health and safety of our students, faculty and staff our top priority as we strive to provide a healthy and safe environment for all to live, learn and work. 

Sincerely,

Melissa Zullo, Ph.D., MPH
