NEARLY 50 Oxford Brookes students have tested positive for coronavirus. 

In the seven days leading up to September 25, there were a total of 67 confirmed Covid-19 cases in Oxford.

The university has now said that 47 of those were students. 

At the end of September, an outbreak of 30 cases at Oxford Brookes could be traced back to wild student parties. 

A shocking video emerged of hundreds of students completely ignoring social distancing rules in a huge party at halls.

It said that campuses would be open as planned and face-to-face teaching would mostly carry on as normal apart from a 'small number of modules' which would move online. 

The university added: "We are supporting a number of students who are currently self-isolating, however we do not have any 'locked down' halls of residence as seen at some other universities in recent days.
