Ohio State has instituted new health and wellness protocols developed to help protect the entire Buckeye community. The university is committed to ensuring that individuals who are vulnerable to COVID-19 or who face particular challenges because of the pandemic can learn and work as safely as possible. The Office of Human Resources will work with employees who are most vulnerable to complications from COVID-19, and their managers, to attempt to find workplace modifications that address the employee’s concerns.
