Cases of coronavirus at the University of Sussex are said to be 'low', according to the Vice-Chancellor.

It's understood the students affected are currently self-isolating along with their housemates.

Adam Tickel wrote to all the staff at the site yesterday (Monday) about how the university intends to respond to an outbreak of the virus.

The letter said:
 
'Whilst the number of cases at Sussex is low, and in line with the local area, it is really important that you are able to stay informed about what we’re doing if the cases at Sussex rise, as well as making sure you understand our own processes.'

'Working with the HPT, the University will be able to assess the risk level for any positive cases, and determine what other measures may need to be taken.
 
'If a staff member has been on campus in the days before becoming symptomatic, the University will liaise with the HPT to ascertain at the earliest opportunity the risk level and inform colleagues or students as necessary.'
