In response to Governor Andrew Cuomo’s executive order requiring everyone in New York State to wear a mask or face covering when out in public, the University has issued guidance and resources for employees who work at the University’s non-Medical Center campuses.
All employees currently working at the River Campus, the Eastman School of Music campus, South Campus, and other non-Medical Center locations are required to wear a face mask when out in public or when social distancing is not possible. Employees, including student employees, can get masks from their department heads or managers.
Non-Medical Center departments need to use the new PPE purchasing process to order face masks, other PPE, and cleaning products for employees and department common areas. Building common areas and restrooms will be cleaned and maintained by University Facilities and cleaning supplies for these purposes should not be acquired through this process.
