The following message was also issued to students, staff, and faculty by email.

Dear Members of the University Community,

With the first summer session coming to a close at the end of this month, the 69传媒COVID-19 team met recently to consider the next phase of our COVID-19 management program as the health and safety of the University community continues to be our top priority.

After reviewing PEI Chief Public Health Office information, the following update has been made to UPEI鈥檚 COVID-19 Operational Plan and is effective Wednesday, June 22, 2022:

• Masking protocols at 69传媒and at UPEI-organized events are shifting from mandatory to strongly recommended.

Continuing to mask, following good hand and respiratory hygiene, physical distancing when possible, getting vaccinated, and staying home when ill are important components of protection for yourself and others. While the mandatory vaccination policy for students and employees鈥攁s was announced on April 12鈥攊s no longer in effect, we encourage all students and employees to remain vigilant by maintaining their vaccinations. Please note that some programs that feature experiential, field, or clinical learning may still have vaccination/masking requirements. Consult with your Dean or program coordinator if you are unsure whether these requirements affect you.

Also, with gathering restrictions lifted on Prince Edward Island, 69传媒will now be able to return to hosting events as we did prior to the pandemic. If you are organizing an event, please refer to the  and .

Thank you to everyone for contributing to our collective efforts to make 69传媒a great鈥攁nd safe鈥攑lace to learn, teach, and work. We will continue to consult with the PEI-CPHO and make policy changes and necessary adjustments to protocols as required.

Regards,

Greg
