The university said in a news release that masks will are required for anyone regardless of vaccination status in all WVU System buildings and facilities through at least Feb. 1, when public health conditions will be reevaluated. The statement said the move was being made to help mitigate the spread of COVID-19 and the omicron variant. The spring semester starts next Monday. Students, faculty and staff must verify their vaccine status by Jan. 28.
