Friday, August 6th, 2021 -- 1:00 PM

(Bob Hague, WRN) University of Wisconsin System campuses in western Wisconsin are expecting students, staff and visitors to mask up in on-campus indoor spaces.

With several counties in the region showing substantial or high levels of COVID-19 transmission, UW-Eau Claire and UW-Stout are encouraging use of masks indoors starting on Monday.

According to releases by both schools, the expectation would apply to everyone indoors on campus, including vehicles regardless of vaccination status. UW La Crosse made a similar request effective on Wednesday.

At UW Madison, all students, employees and visitors to campus are being required to wear masks when inside campus buildings.
