“We know that you may find this concerning, but we are continuing to monitor the situation and are working closely with Public Health England.

“The small number of students and staff who have been in close contact with the individual who has tested positive for coronavirus (COVID-19) have been informed that they need to stay at home for 10 days. Unless you have been contacted directly, you do not need to take any further action.

“The College remains open and you should continue to attend as normal if they remain well.”
