COVID-19 Precautions
OAI recognizes that COVID-19 still presents a significant concern. OAI will continue to track and refine its contagious illness policy in accordance with federal, state, and industry guidelines in order to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 on the OFAI community. Participants are strongly encouraged to receive the COVID-19 vaccine prior to OFAI, as the vaccine is very effective for preventing the spread and serious illness of COVID-19.
