The College received no new reports of students, faculty or staff with confirmed cases of COVID-19 as of 5 p.m. yesterday, Sept. 9.
A total of 11 students have tested positive for COVID-19 since the beginning of the fall 2020 semester. Two of these are currently classified as active cases (defined as confirmed positive tests among individuals who have been on campus and may have exposed others). Eight students are in quarantine on campus, and one more is in isolation on campus.
The College has not received reports of any employees testing positive since the semester began.
Our community can stay up-to-date on this information via our COVID-19 dashboard, which includes tallies of current active cases, total cases last week and total recoveries. The dashboard was recently updated to include new data on on-campus student testing and positivity rates for those on-campus tests, as well as information about students quarantining and isolating on campus.
This dashboard does not include counts of positive cases among students taking online courses from home, or employees who are telecommuting and not coming to campus, as any such cases should not pose an on-campus health risk.
As previously announced, the College will continue reporting new positive cases of COVID-19 to community members through the Daily Digest e-newsletter. Each issue of the Digest will include a “Coronavirus Update” announcing new, confirmed positive cases among students or employees, if any. Positive cases will only be reported for students and employees who have been on campus during the previous 14 days.
