This does raise the question of the overcrowded flats that overseas students are conned into living in.
Are the overseas students even here? Are the con-artist landlords scrabbling to pay their rent (they don’t own the flats, of course).
And is cramming all those Korean and Chinese students (if they do turn up) into six, eight or 12 to a room, not just the conditions under which any virus would thrive and spread.
Protect our health – shut down the one-flat hostels.
