A suspected coronavirus outbreak has possibly hit hundreds of students at Abertay University after a single case and a small number of possible infections.
The suspected infections are linked to the Parker House which is a private accommodation block at the university.
Contract tracers are trying to trace and locate anyone who may have been in contact with the student at Abertay university, and could have potentially passed this on to 500 students.
Dr Daniel Chandler, associate director of public health said coronavirus can “spread very quickly in student accommodation.”
Dr Chandler added, “Further investigation and contact tracing are continuing and we will review this advice in the coming days.
“It is really important that any residents who develop symptoms book a test as soon as possible.”
