HANOVER Dartmouth College has shuttered indoor gathering spaces and shifted in-person classes to a remote format at least until Tuesday in light of rising numbers of COVID-19 cases, according to the college provost.
As of Thursday, the college had 37 active cases of COVID-19 in students, with 112 students and employees in either quarantine or isolation, according to the school’s dashboard.

This is up from a previous high of 25 active cases in mid-January, college spokeswoman Diana Lawrence said.
