ale University’s spring semester will be starting on Jan. 25, which is a week later than originally scheduled. And, in addition to being required to be fully vaccinated, boosted and tested upon arrival, undergraduate students are now being told they cannot frequent New Haven's businesses the way they have in the past.

While it’s only a temporary measure, businesses are expecting to be impacted, especially those who rely on dine-in and bar business.

In an email to undergraduate students last week, under Phase 2 of the Arrival Quarantine, Yale students were instructed to avoid local businesses, including retail, restaurants, and bars, as well as those with outdoor drinking or dining until at least Feb. 7.

...

New Haven Mayor Justin Elicker described Yale's requirement as a bit over the top.

"Our local businesses are really struggling right now, and the fact of the matter is that the university community is a main driver for the economic support of our businesses," said Elicker.

Yale says its undergraduate students may frequent local businesses, who provide curbside, or sidewalk pick up during this quarantine period.
