a student at the University of York, is one of the two Chinese citizens who have tested positive for the Corona virus in the U.

Past simple

Although the university said it had been advised there was a low risk of the infection being passed on to anyone else on campus.

A team from Public Health England says it's making good progress in tracking down anyone who came into close contact with the pair.

Well, let's go live now to I should tell who's in York?

I should yes Earlier today, York University confirmed that news, and they've urged people to remain calm, and if they're feeling a little they can contact.

The emergency service is we've been on campus all day and even in the toilet, says advice on what to do if you've been in Wuhan in the last 14 days, all of the flu advice and good hygiene about washing your hands and if you feel a little bit more ill to contact the emergency service is now.

Developments in China have been that 259 people are confirmed to have died in the international response continues to be to remove their citizens away from mainland China.

And in the last hour, Russia have said that they are going to do that now.

Back in York, I've been speaking to students about their reaction that the Corona virus is a little bit closer to them.

These students are some of the many we saw wearing face masks for protection.

The news that one of the first Corona virus cases in the U.

Is a student here has hit campus, you see.

Oh, the music keeps coming thick and fast in out his teenage fanclub, but with a level.

I heard the story when I was on the train or on, then slowly but surely found out that it wasn't only here in York.

I've been told it's it's sort of less infectious than common colds and things like that.

But across campus, not all students felt this way.

This virus spread really quickly in China and asking my family, they're all fine and they're just staying home, and I think they will be fine, and I think the virus will be gone soon.

The university say they're working with health authorities to contain the risk to other students and staff.

Public health England has advised us that the risk of an infection being passed to others on campus is low.

University is open and will continue to operate normally.

I feel a little bit warrior because it spread so much.

Sang Hyung is one of the many international students here.

His mom, who's a doctor in China, has told him to wear a face mask.

I think that more and more people should There were such must must.

You don't mean that they are bad people or some something they just need to protect on something themselves from the bear, All right.

Over 100 miles away in the world, the 83 people flown in from Wuhan have spent their first night in isolation.

One of them is Irish teacher Ben Cavanaugh.

We first spoke to him last weekend when he was trapped in Wuhan.

It's close to 40 hours anyway, since I left my apartment, Um, hopefully that's not the last time I see it.

Hopefully I get to go back when this is all over.

You can smell anyone else, even though we will be probably all smell disgusting.

So they're constantly bring in food in which is good, lovely fresh salad.

Give us the TV TV's working sort of entertainment 12 grand outside of the U.

The United States in Australia put travel bans in place.

Both orders temporarily stop entry for most foreign nationals who've traveled to China in the last 14 days.

The head of the World Health Organization had advised against such restrictions probably a good choice to come home.

Let's just hope we can all get through this and let's hope everyone in move man stays well for Ben.

It's now 13 days and counting until he can leave quarantine Good.

Me too hard for two weeks, and he hopes he can eventually return to Wuhan once the virus is no longer a risk.

Well, earlier, I spoke at greater length to Ben Cabin over a bit of a ropey Internet connection in quarantine in the world.

It's been compared by one newspaper too cold it, so it sounds like it couldn't be further from the truth.

At first we thought maybe it would be something like that.

It's really it's It's nicer than we thought it was gonna be.

And do you feel that you've got enough privacy that you can get out and get fresh air if you want, or you feeling slightly, you know, Is it as cabin fever set in yet?

Well, it is only it's not even been a whole day yet on DDE.

If you wanted to, you could just completely stay in your own bedroom for the two weeks on.

They would bring food to your room or you can get open.

You could walk around the building, and there's a communal area in the middle where all the food is delivered and brought to.

So that's where people went for breakfast.

On just outside is a It's a tiny little courtyard that if you want to go out for a cigarette, just a tiny walk around, you can't leave the compound or or the little area outside.

If you wanted to get some fresh air, you can just go out to little Courtyard that, uh, you can see in the video.

So is there a camaraderie developing amongst the group there?

Well, we're all in the same boat, aren't we?

It's tired to describe because some people don't You maybe some people don't want to get involved at all because obviously, we don't want to spread it because we have no idea if any of us are infected.

As of right now, we don't think anyone is, but, uh, we're all in the same boat, so we're all trying toe get along as best we can.

And what have you been told about what would happen if you tried to leave the facility?

Oh, I mean, I don't think I didn't ask because no one's going to leave quarantine.

When we were signing, we had to sign a uh no, we had a sign, not a contract.

But we had to sign something to get our boarding pass, and that was the favor.

Said, you know, that if you accept this boarding pass, you will be in quarantine in the UK for two weeks.

So we all knew what we were getting in for.

What do you think would happen, though, if someone got so sort of felt so on the pressure?

Psychologically, I guess, from being cooped up all that time.

What have you been told about what the consequences might be?

Uh, well, I haven't been told anything about consequences.

I didn't ask, but I don't think we even could.

So on the ratings locks on only there is a way out jail offense.
