Morris Brown College, based in Atlanta, has made the decision to reimpose its COVID mask mandate for the coming two weeks.

“All students and employees will be required to wear face masks,” the college stated on Instagram.
The college further called for students to practice physical distancing. It also cancelled all “large gatherings” and events for the next two weeks.
“Compliance with college-initiated contact tracing efforts is expected,” the statement also said.
