Salford University to suspend all teaching except for those in final year in bid to help delay coronavirus spread

The University of Salford is to suspend all teaching except for students in their final year to help delay the spread of coronavirus.

The first case of COVID-19 was confirmed in the city yesterday. The parent of a child at Lewis Street Primary in Eccles has the virus and is self-isolating at home.

That triggered the closure of three schools - Lewis Street, Christchurch Primary in Eccles, and Lark Hill Primary in Langworthy.

All three have closed until Monday for a deep clean to carried out. The University has about 20,000 students and 3,000 staff based at a main campus on The Crescent and others at Media City, Salford Quays, and Adelphi Street, Salford.
