COVID Checkpoint
As of March 10, 2022 there is no longer a required COVID Checkpoint at Cornell University. 
If you are experiencing any of the following symptoms, please stay home:
Fever or chills, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fatigue, muscle or body aches, headache, new loss of taste or smell, sore throat, congestion or runny nose, nausea or vomiting, diarrhea.

Masks
With the prevalence of COVID-19 declining nationally, altered masking guidelines from the CDC and Tompkins County and NYC Health Departments, and the fact that the vast majority of cases among our community have been mild or asymptomatic, Cornell is initiating a phased approach to relaxing our mask requirements.

Beginning Monday, March 14, face mask requirements will be lifted for the majority of on-campus locations, including indoor athletic events.
