Oberlin has a total campus vaccination rate of 97.4 percent. What level of testing is necessary on a highly vaccinated campus? Is testing recommended for individuals returning to campus from breaks or travel?

What do we know about the Omicron variant and what are the concerns?

If an individual is symptomatic, what measures should they take? How do you slow the spread of COVID?
