The Ohio State University athletic department has revised its safety protocols in the face of the Omicron variant, emphasizing that student-athletes receive a booster shot to be considered fully vaccinated and mandating a five-day isolation period for individuals who test positive for COVID-19.

The revised protocols, which were obtained by The Columbus Dispatch through a public records request, redefine the athletic department's vaccination, testing and contact tracing guidelines. They stipulate that student-athletes who are more than five months removed from a second dose of the Moderna/Pfizer vaccine or two months from a Johnson & Johnson vaccination and have not received a booster are only considered partially vaccinated. Individuals who have both, or who have been infected within the previous 90 days, are considered fully vaccinated.
