HANOVER Dartmouth College is planning to lift some restrictions imposed because of its COVID-19 outbreak amid signs that the rate of transmission “has slowed significantly this week,” Provost Joseph Helble said in an email to the college community Friday afternoon.
Surveillance testing Friday morning found two new cases of students with COVID-19, which Helble said was the “lowest single-day total” since the beginning of last week.
Dartmouth’s COVID-19 dashboard showed 137 active cases, all but two of them students and down from 146 on Thursday. In addition, the number of students and employees in quarantine and isolation had declined by almost 10% to 276, according to the dashboard.
