Dartmouth College Makes Changes Due to Climbing COVID-19 Numbers

Dartmouth College is making guideline changes following an uptick in COVID-19 cases on-campus, reports WCAX.

According to the report, there are now, at least, 25 confirmed COVID-19 cases on the Hanover campus, and the college believes that number could continue to rise. School leaders are reportedly looking into the cause of the higher rate of transmission.

Students who have tested positive are currently in isolation, while individuals who have been identified as close contacts are also in quarantine.

To combat any potential spread, all dining options on campus have been changed to a “grab and go” option, and this change will remain in place until at least Sunday.

At time of reporting, outdoor activities such as ice skating and walking are still allowed with mandatory social distancing and mask-wearing.
