"Masking is one of the easiest ways to prevent the spread of COVID-19," Queen's University said in a statement on Thursday.
"With this in mind, the university has decided to extend the masking requirements until the end of May 2022, at which time it will review the continuation of the requirement.
"This action is being taken for our employees’ wellbeing and to help ensure the university can continue to deliver safely on its academic mission throughout the spring."
Queen's University is also urging everyone to receive all vaccinations and boosters.
