A University of Toronto (U of T) education workers union wants the school to require students to be masked when they return to campus in the fall.

“We’re calling on (U of T) to reinstate a mask mandate, as well as for low-effort interventions to increase uptake: free masks, more mask distribution points, and advertising to promote a safe campus,” wrote CUPE 3902 in a social media post.

CUPE 3902 believes “mask-wearing is an important and necessary measure to prevent the transmission of COVID-19,” and that the U of T has failed to take this “simple step to keep students and workers safe.”

The union says there is “significant evidence demonstrating the effectiveness of mask-wearing in curbing transmission in University settings, both with vaccine mandates and without.”

U of T has so far not announced plans for new mask mandates in the fall, but it said in July that students moving into residence would be required to have “at least” one booster shot.  (more...)
