Status report

Smith has rescinded the personal travel restriction outside Hampshire county for students. At UMass, the Public Health Promotion Center is encouraging the community to test, and the number of tests last week more than doubled. There was also a rise in positive results, which has led the university to begin adaptive testing to identify students who may be at risk of infection.
