UNMC has reinstated a process for ordering and distributing face masks following its recent announcement that masks must be worn indoors while on campus.
Read UNMC's updated masking guidance, which took effect Aug. 4 in accordance with revised guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and rising cases of the highly contagious, rapid-spreading Delta variant of COVID-19.
Last year, UNMC distributed red cloth masks to all personnel during the early months of the pandemic. Once again, departments, offices or laboratories may request masks to accommodate the latest campus requirements.
Faculty supervisors, managers or administrators may request a delivery of cloth masks for new personnel and new students (who did not receive masks as part of the original distribution) and/or disposable masks via the UNMC Mask Request Form.
New personnel and new students may receive up to two free branded cloth masks while supplies last. Disposable masks will be available by the box. Cost centers will be charged $20 for orders of disposable masks (50 per box).
Employees who wear N95 respirators should contact Environmental Health and Safety at 402-559-6356 if they have any questions or learn more on the respiratory protection website. Read more about fit testing on campus.
Orders will be delivered to the ZIP code specified on the request form. Orders will be delivered in 24-48 hours.
