But, with COVID-19 cases rising again due to the Omicron variant, the Ivy League school recently told students that they will not be allowed to jaunt around New Haven\u2019s numerous bars and dining options \u2014 like the world-famous Pepe\u2019s Pizzeria \u2014 unless they get the food to go via curbside pick-up. University administrators even told students they cannot visit local businesses during this time either.<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday, the college\u2019s newspaper Yale Daily News <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/YaleDailyNews\/posts\/10160274226740190\">announced<\/a> that school administrators announced a plethora of new COVID-19 restrictions for students returning for the 2022 spring semester.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStudents can return to campus anytime between Jan. 14 and Feb. 4,\u201d the News stated. \u201cThey must quarantine in their residences (except to pick up food and test) until they receive results of an arrival test.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYale instituted a campus-wide quarantine until Feb. 7 or (which may be extended depending on public health conditions),\u201d the student outlet added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStudents may not visit New Haven businesses or eat at local restaurants (even outdoors) except for curbside pickup,\u201d it warned. \u201cDining is grab-and-go until public health conditions improve. Yale is currently set to resume in-person classes on Feb. 7 \u2014 after two weeks of remote instruction.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Washington Free Beacon\u2019s Aaron Sibarium noted that the data being used to determine if conditions improve are \u201ccases\u201d not hospitalizations. As Omicron continues to rip through the country, it is possible cases could continue to rise, even if the variant is more similar to the flu \u2014 especially for vaccinated individuals.<\/p>\n<p>This off-campus dining ban also applies to students who don\u2019t live in Yale-owned property.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven if you live off campus, you are forbidden from frequenting local businesses, including outdoor restaurants,\u201d Siboarium tweeted. \u201cThis isn\u2019t just a residence hall rule, it applies to all students. And it can be extended indefinitely if cases are high in New Haven.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCases are the metric here, not hospitalizations,\u201d he added. \u201cSo even if there were zero pressure on hospitals, Yale could potentially extend the state of emergency\u2014for students who are triple vaccinated.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Cases are the metric here, not hospitalizations.

Where is the scientific support for constantly testing fully vaccinated young people? Where is the support for the confinement of asymptomatic, young people who test positive for a virus to which they are already immune on a campus of other immune people?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe data simply do not justify any of it,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>For now, we can only hope that school administrators embrace the school\u2019s motto of \u201cLux et Veritas\u201d and find the \u201clight and truth\u201d regarding proper COVID-19 safety, perhaps protocols that do not essentially place Yale\u2019s 99.7% vaxxed student population in a collegiate prison.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
