at least 137 people across both MMU sites tested positive for Covid-19 with a number of other students also recording symptoms.
The council, university and Public Health England jointly agreed to introduce lockdown measures last Friday (September 25). The previous weekend a number of students were forced to self isolate at the Birley campus days after a 100-strong party was reported in the courtyard.Manchester's Director of Public Health, David Regan, says the MMU campus remains the main area of concern.
However new figures have revealed that Fallowfield Central is now the country's Covid-19 hotspot with 149 new confirmed cases in the seven days up to September 27.
