Students at Edinburgh Napier University have been told to self-isolate for two weeks after a breakout cluster of the virus at one of the accommodation buildings.
Earlier this month it was confirmed that an outbreak had been reported at the Bainfield accommodation in Fountainbridge after first year students moved into the complex.
Since then, the affected individuals have been contacted and are now self-isolating, with those who develop symptoms asked to book a test immediately.
However, now all students at the university have been told to self-isolate if they attended any party or social gathering in the building, Edinburgh Live can report.
In public health advice issued today (Monday), students were told to stay at home or remain in their accommodation if they attended a gathering on the 12/13th September, when the outbreak is believed to have occurred.
