EUGENE, Ore. -- Oregon and Oregon State became the first Power 5 schools to announce it will require proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test for people over the age of 12 to attend its football games.
In its announcement Friday, Oregon said the decision was made with public health authorities and "peer institutions in the state." The negative test result must be from within three days of the event.
The mandate goes into effect Monday and comes at the end of a week when state officials warned of rapidly filling hospitals as daily reported cases reached record numbers.
