COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) – The Ohio State University is updating its guidelines for the return of students in fall 2021. How much will feel normal will largely depend on vaccination status, both individually and collectively at the institution as a whole. Wednesday, the University announced it was lifting mask requirements to better align with state and national health leaders. Students, faculty, and staff who are fully vaccinated will be allowed to take off facial coverings both indoors and outdoors. Mandatory COVID-19 testing will also be reduced to once per month or less and those who’ve had their shot series will not be required to quarantine if exposed to the virus. Unvaccinated individuals will continue COVID-19 testing 1-2 times per week at the beginning of the term. They’re expected to follow masking and social distancing guidelines.
