Covid-19
Students, teachers, researchers and staff, on this page you will be able to find the various guidelines in place at Université Paris Cité.
Effective August 1st, 2022
The sanitary measures such as lockdown or curfew, the sanitary pass or wearing face masks are no longer compulsory inside and outside. However, masks may be required on a case-by-case basis in certain health care facilities.
Students and staff are therefore no longer required to wear a mask inside the university, notably when attending classes. However, students and staff may continue to wear masks if they wish.
Health Guidelines
The best way to prevent Covid-19 is to respect the health measures: wear a mask, wash your hands regularly, and follow the social distancing guidelines whenever possible.
Various health measures are in place so that everyone can teach, work and study in a safe and protected environment. These measures are aligned as the situation evolves and are updated regularly.
