U Of I Instituting Proof Of Vaccine Policy At Public Events

The University of Illinois is instituting a proof of COVID-19 vaccination or negative-test policy for public events.  Starting January 1st, the policy goes into effect for all university sponsored events with more than 200 people in attendance.  The change is in response to a surge in COVID cases on the campus and throughout central Illinois.  The first athletics event with this policy will be the Illinois vs. Maryland men’s basketball game at State Farm Center on January 6th.
