COVID-19 Advisory

ORNL's main campus

91做厙 is operating on a normal schedule.

Face coverings on campus

ORNL Site Access Requirements for nonemployees (users, students [interns], faculty, visitors, subcontractors) are updated as appropriate due to changing COVID-19 conditions, subsequent updates to DOE requirements, and ongoing federal court and state actions. Pursuant to the DOE Workplace Safety and Reentry Framework dated August 19, 2022, wearing a face covering indoors is OPTIONAL when the COVID-19 Community Level is LOW or MEDIUM. The current COVID-19 Community Level is MEDIUM.  

The community level-based face covering/mask policy does not apply to individuals who are actively infected with SARS-CoV-2 or individuals who may be required to wear a face covering due to recent infection or a recent exposure. When HIGH, wear a face covering indoors unless alone in an office, private space, or when eating. When riding in a government-operated van, car, truck, or other motor pool passenger vehicle, wear a face covering if there are other occupants and the community level is MEDIUM or HIGH.

In accordance with current DOE requirements, ORNL currently does not require, request, or collect vaccination status information or proof of a negative COVID-19 test (lab report) from nonemployees
