Yale University raised its risk level for coronavirus to yellow, signifying “low to moderate risk, reflecting public health conditions and the emergence of Omicron.”

Among the changes:

  • Those with a weekly testing requirement were asked to get a second test this week.
  • Those without a testing requirement are encouraged to test twice this week.
  • Students were told to avoid travel for the rest of the semester and choose delivery or pickup options versus off-campus, in-person dining.
  • Students were told to avoid large indoor gatherings that are not university sponsored.
