According to the university, the policy change comes as nearly half of the counties home to Penn State campuses are experiencing “substantial” levels of COVID-19 transmission, according to the Centers for Disease Control. Newly announced Penn State guidelines said indoor mask-wearing orders would return at campuses where transmission was identified as “high” (red) or “substantial” (orange).
“Penn State is taking this proactive measure to protect the health and safety of our campuses and help mitigate the spread of this virus within our community,” said Penn State President Eric J. Barron. “As we continue to see daily increases in COVID-19 cases, particularly the Delta variant, our current outlook warrants this protective step. I continue to look forward to a return to robust, in-person experiences, and hope this is a reassuring adjustment for students, faculty and staff. To have a successful semester, it’s going to take all of us doing our parts to support the well-being of our entire community.”

About 77% of surveyed students said they’re fully vaccinated against COVID-19, according to Vice President for Student Affairs Damon Sims.
The survey, sent out to more than 87,000 Penn State students, garnered an overall 42% response rate and a 54% response rate at University Park.
More than 37,000 students responded to the survey by July 31. 82% of University Park respondents said they’re vaccinated, while 66% of Commonwealth Campus respondents said they’re fully covered, too.
“We’re mindful of the fact that this survey may have a response bias built into it, but we still think this is a valuable data point,” Sims said, noting

Vaccinations
First and foremost, the university doubled down on not requiring COVID-19 vaccinations for students and employees. Instead, Penn State will continue encouraging them for all to promote community safety.
“While we are not currently requiring vaccinations, Penn State is not impartial when it comes to getting vaccinated,” said President Eric Barron. “The university’s stance is that everyone who can get a vaccine should do so as soon as possible to attain very high vaccination rates on all Penn State campuses.”
