"In line with the Public Health England advice, the small number of students who have been in closer contact with the individual who has tested positive for coronavirus have received a letter informing them that they must stay at home for 14 days," the college said.

"The following advice is issued to help our understanding. If students develop symptoms of Covid-19, they must not come to college and should remain at home for at least 10 days from the date when their symptoms appearedd. Anyone with symptoms will be eligible for testing and this can be arranged via https://www.nhs.uk/ask-for-a-coronavirus-test or by calling 119.
