Yes, one of the two cases of coronavirus in the UK is a student at the University of York. The other one is a relative.
A spokesman for the university said the risk of the infection being passed on to other people on campus was low.
He said information from Public Health England "suggests that the student did not come into contact with anybody on campus whilst they had symptoms".

Hotels in Thailand are reporting bookings down to as much as 10% of last year due to the block Chinese bookings being cancelled. The Chinese accounted for 40% of tourist visitors and so a vast source of revenue is gone and businesses will struggle and crime will rise no doubt.
