Transcription

BYU announced on June 23 that masks are required in classes and buildings on campus for Fall Semester due to the risk of a COVID-19 spread. BYU’s dress-and-grooming standards prohibit beards, but students question whether the school will enforce the policy amid a pandemic since most facial hair would be hidden beneath a mask. . . . At the moment, it appears BYU students will not be able to keep a beard under their masks, at least in the Testing Center.
