Mask on, Auburn students and faculty!
On Tuesday, the university announced that masks are to be worn at all times both inside buildings and outside starting on Wednesday, August 19.
đˇFace coverings are now required at all times indoors and outdoors on #Auburn's campus.
The only exceptions are in designated areas or for approved medical reasons.
âĄď¸The policy is effective Wednesday, Aug. 19, and will be in effect until further notice. #AHealthierU pic.twitter.com/kq7Swxuf1U

It is a change from the original policy that mandated masks only be worn inside. With the arrival of students on campus (and the pictures of packed bars with not many people wearing masks), the university is taking steps to make sure that everyone on campus can be as safe as possible during this time and, of course, that football season begins on time on Sept. 26.
