It is understood by a close source in Birmingham that a man, possibly a student, has been bundled into an ambulance and rushed into hospital, apparently by a medic in a hazmat suit and two paramedics with NO protective clothing. The student had only returned from China with his class from Birmingham University a few days before and was taken ill on the campus.

Authorities are reportedly scrambling to gather together the other students who went on the trip to test them for the virus.

Chester University recently told its students that they will not be allowed back on campus if they travel to China for Chinese New Year unless they agree to a “suitable quarantine period”.
