Masks still required?

[M_E]

It shows on the testing website that masks are still required. Now that the CDC says masks aren’t necessary indoors. Will they be basing this depending on if you’re area requires masks indoors?

I’m hoping so because if so in Scotland we’re allowed to take off our masks once seated in an office / restaurant and I don’t see why a test center should be any different. I’d expect to have to wear one up till being seated though

Prometric’s position is to keep the mask requirement, where allowed, to maintain standardization and safety measures across our network as much as possible.

As a private company, Prometric will continue to require everyone who comes to one of our global testing centers (that are not connected with state government agencies) to wear an approved face covering for the duration of their time at the location.

Individuals not in compliance with this policy will not be allowed to sit for their scheduled appointment. We will also continue to maintain social distancing protocols in common areas, where barriers are not provided.

That said, Prometric does operate some sites on state universities in states where these policies have been enacted. In some instances, those university policies mandate that we must allow the university to drop the mask requirement, which would apply to that particular site. Candidates will still be allowed to wear masks according to their comfort level at these sites, but masks will not be mandatory.

I was fortunate to be in a testing room alone. I asked, since there was nobody there if I could remove my mask and the proctor told me no because of the cameras. That if they spotted me without a mask it could be a problem.

What a douch. I had my nose out the whole time. Back of the ears were a little sore but had them fooled
