University students can expect to be banned from holding large parties in their halls of residence and attend lectures only for priority courses if coronavirus surges on campus, according to new government guidance.

Meanwhile, a health minister has warned young people to be responsible about their activities in the bedroom, as well as in pubs and elsewhere, to prevent the spread of Covid-19.

The guidance, updated in the early hours of Thursday, governs the return of thousands of students to campuses across England.
