A Dartmouth undergraduate student has tested presumptive positive for COVID-19, College spokesperson Diana Lawrence confirmed to The Dartmouth on Wednesday night. This marks the first case in Dartmouth’s undergraduate community, after a graduate student tested presumptive positive on Monday.
Lawrence wrote in an email statement that both the student and their close contacts are in self-isolation off campus.
The news comes after Dartmouth announced on Monday afternoon that a graduate student had tested presumptive positive. On Monday morning, an email to the Dartmouth community announced that two graduate students and an undergraduate student had been tested for COVID-19 and were awaiting results.
Lawrence said the state is conducting a contacts investigation that is expected to be completed Thursday afternoon. She added that the College will send an update to the Dartmouth community on Thursday morning.
