Malatras said easing mask requirements represents a first step toward normalcy on campus.
“As we set our sights on the fall semester and reopening our campuses, we hope to be able to lift many more COVID-related restrictions in the weeks and months to come,” Malatras said.
Malatras urged the SUNY community to take advantage of the widely available opportunities to get vaccinated in order to move toward a more normal school year.
Those who aren't fully vaccinated must continue to wear masks on campus unless they are socially distanced or in a private setting.
Everyone is still required to wear a mask in classroom settings.
