Alachua County/ Gainesville, FL COVID-19 update

Are we seeing the light at the end of the tunnel?

Alachua County is up to 40.64% fully vaccinated and 48.16% with at least one dose of the vaccine.

Most schools will not be requiring masks inside the classrooms starting in the fall.

UF is planning for full capacity Gator games in the fall. Go Gators!

UF students will not be required to wear masks (but recommended if unvaccinated).

I think we’re getting closer to normalcy.
