Fall COVID-19 regulations keep campus case count low, but raise mental health concerns

By Emily Lu | December 24, 2020

Dartmouth’s mask requirements, weekly testing and restricted gatherings seem to have successfully staved off the virus this fall. Even as students returned to campus for the College’s first term of on-campus operations amid the pandemic, COVID-19 positivity rates remained below a tenth of a percent.
