Social activity during freshers' week likely contributed to a large Covid-19 outbreak among students living at student accommodation, a study has found.
A study published on Tuesday by Public Health Scotland with the University of Glasgow and NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde showed there were 11 independent introductions of the Covid-19 virus into the student population which caused at least four large outbreaks.
Researchers found that covid-19 spread “rapidly” via social interactions during freshers’ week among the student population in Glasgow during the autumn of 2020.
