Starting Feb. 28th, fully vaccinated and boosted faculty and students can drop their masks in most indoor settings.
The university recently announced that they will be following the state and the city of Berkeley in dropping masks in most indoor settings after Feb. 27.
“Awesome. I can’t wait for it, the masks have been destroying my social life,” said UC Berkeley student Jay Liu. The university said that starting Feb. 28th, fully vaccinated and boosted faculty and students can drop their masks in most indoor settings.“Now that they are lowering the mask mandate and not providing online accommodations, it really is a slap in the face to everyone,” said UC Berkeley student Laura Nguyen.
Health experts like Dr. Monica Gandhi of UCSF said that she supports the move. She told NBC Bay Area Saturday that the Bay Area has higher vaccination rates, more immunity after the omicron surge and now, we have therapeutics.
