Lipscomb students no longer must wear face masks when outside, in public spaces.
The university’s new COVID-19 mask policy was announced in an email to students.
However, students are encouraged to remain distant from each other and wear masks if they’re interacting with people outside of their household, according to the email.
This update came as a response to Metro Public Health Department’s own policy update with the same change. Metro’s full update can be found here.
There were other policy changes included in Lipscomb’s announcement, such as that masks can be taken off when indoors and alone or when eating or drinking. To read Lipscomb’s mask policy in full you can access it here.
