UNC Charlotte moves to masks-optional policy: Monday, March 7

Face masks will be optional on UNC Charlotte's campus effective Monday, March 7.

The university provided the update on Monday, Feb. 28, just days after the UNC System issued guidance that makes face masks optional in all indoor settings on campuses within the system effective on that day.

Masks will be optional in all indoor settings at UNC Charlotte, including classrooms and other academic spaces. The university encourages people who are unvaccinated or at a high risk for complications to still wear a mask.

The university is reminding people that face masks will still be required on NinerTransit and in the Student Health Center due to state and federal regulations for health care settings and transportation.

Even with the guidance, the school is encouraging people to wear a mask on campus to help reduce the risk of infection to yourself and others. Employees can also make their own choice about asking visitors in their personal office space to wear a mask.

Charlotte FC took the field at Bank of America Stadium for the first time in franchise history, facing off against the LA Galaxy Saturday evening. However, the black and blue weren't able to defend their home turf, falling to the Galaxy 1-0 after full time.

The match was Charlotte FC's second overall in Major League Soccer play, coming off a 3-0 loss against DC United last week. LA Galaxy's visit to Charlotte comes after shutting out New York City FC 1-0.

“We play football because we want to win. But I believe I am the happiest coach in the world. The energy, it was amazing," said coach Miguel Ramirez during a postgame news briefing. "Thank you North Carolina, South Carolina, and everyone that came. One request I would like for them to come back the next game.”
