Update: May 21, 2021, 8:00 a.m.
The Governor’s Office of Employees Relations (GOER) has advised that New York State agencies should continue to follow existing state guidance on mask wearing and social distancing at this time. GOER and the New York State Department of Health are reviewing Governor Cuomo’s announcement of May 17, which advises that fully vaccinated individuals may remove their masks and not distance from one another in most situations.
Until further information is provided, Buffalo State College will continue to follow its current masking guidelines (PDF, 143 KB), which require that masks be worn indoors at all times. In outdoor settings on campus, fully vaccinated people no longer need to wear masks while alone or in small groups. Masks are still required in crowded outdoor settings and venues.
We will provide further information, including protocols for verification of vaccination status, as it becomes available. Thank you for your continued cooperation.
