WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. —

Given that campus case numbers are dropping and severity continues to remain low, effective Friday (Feb. 18), Purdue University will make face masks optional on the West Lafayette campus, except for instructional, research and health care settings, as well as where contractually required. Purdue Athletics venues will be among the indoor spaces where masks will be considered optional.
