Northern Illinois University no longer requires that masks be worn inside of university buildings during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, persons preferring to wear masks are encouraged to do so. The university guidelines for wearing masks in university buildings during the pandemic are found here. Changes in those guidelines will be followed by the Kishwaukee Symphony Orchestra.
