UConn will no longer require proof of vaccination or a negative COVID test to attend games, the school announced Thursday. Face coverings will also no longer be mandated but are still recommended. The decision comes as a result of “improving conditions surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic.”
The new policy will take effect immediately for all UConn home athletic events, including those at the XL Center in Hartford.
“On behalf of our student-athletes, coaches, and staff, I would like to thank all of our fans for your cooperation and good-natured, positive attitude towards our admission policy this season,” director of athletics David Benedict said in a release.
