Morris Brown College, a private institution in Atlanta, has announced that it will require students and employees to wear face masks on campus once again.
The decision comes just a week after classes began and will be in effect for two weeks.
The announcement was made on Sunday in a letter to faculty, staff, and students, citing “reports of positive cases among students in the Atlanta University Center” as the reason behind the decision, according to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Morris Brown President Kevin James informed the news outlet via email on Monday that there have been no reports of COVID-19 cases on Morris Brown’s campus itself. He characterized the measures as “precautionary” in nature.
