Students, faculty, staff and visitors are required to comply with the COVID-19 Mask Policy to the fullest extent possible.
At this time, the University of Windsor requires wearing a mask whenever physical distancing of two metres/six feet (2m / 6 ft.) cannot be maintained. However, wearing masks when indoors regardless of physical distancing is strongly recommended.
The cooperation of our campus community towards keeping each other healthy will also serve to minimize the burden on our healthcare system.
Public Health institutions and officials have noted that the province is facing a triple threat from influenza (flu), COVID-19 and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). While the latter is more common in young children, the impact of their required care in combination with the flu season and on-going COVID-19 pandemic, is causing hospitals to be at full capacity and beyond.
As noted by Ontario Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Kieran Moore, "the dominant flu strain is particularly virulent. We strongly recommend as you go indoors... please mask up."
Flu shots are now available through primary care providers and vaccination clinics. COVID-19 bivalent boosters are also available. Visit wevax.ca for eligibility information and to book an appointment.
