Regardless of Vaccination Status, Masks Now Required Indoors on OSU Campuses

The policy is effective immediately

The Ohio State University (OSU) is requiring students, faculty, staff and visitors on all campuses to wear masks indoors regardless of their vaccination status.

In a statement released Monday, President Kristina Johnson said the policy is effective immediately.

"In recent weeks, the Delta variant has rapidly become the most common form of the virus in Ohio – and across the nation," Johnson said. "The Delta variant is much more contagious than previous versions of the virus, causes infected patients to have substantially higher amounts of the virus in their system, and can be transmitted to others even by fully vaccinated people who contract the virus."
