ITHACA, NY -- Cornell University is loosening restrictions on its Ithaca campus as more than 50% of the on-campus population has been vaccinated. The school said it will continue to assess its guidance and restrictions and that its latest changes are consistent with guidance from the CDC and New York state. Fully vaccinated individuals who have submitted proof of vaccination are no longer required to wear a mask when meeting outdoors as part of a small group (10 people or fewer).  Unvaccinated students, faculty and staff must continue to wear a mask outdoors when physical distancing is not feasible, and all community members must continue to wear masks when inside.
