Yale Tells Fully Vaxed And Boosted Students They Can’t Eat Outside

Yale University told fully vaccinated and boosted students that they cannot dine outdoors at restaurants near campus, according to a Jan. 4 email printed by the university’s student-run publication.

Yale Daily News reposted a portion of the university’s email on its Facebook page. In-person classes will resume Feb. 7, though students living on campus are allowed to return beginning Jan. 14. Students who opt to come back to the New Haven campus will be subjected to a “campus-wide quarantine” until classes resume, according to the post.

The campus-wide quarantine does not allow fully vaccinated and boosted students to visit local businesses or restaurants. Yale’s email specified that students cannot eat “even outdoors.” All dining must be “grab-and-go,” according to the Yale Daily News.

“Yale announced its plans for the start of the spring semester in an afternoon email. Students can return to campus anytime between Jan. 14 and Feb. 4,” the post from Yale Daily News reads. “They must quarantine in their residences (except to pick up food and test) until they receive results of an arrival test. Yale instituted a campus-wide quarantine until Feb. 7 or (which may be extended depending on public health conditions).”
