Ten Exeter University students tested positive for the virus on Wednesday, sparking bosses at the Coleridge Medical Centre to issue advice to worried residents.
Anyone displaying 'flu-like symptoms has been urged to stay at home, contact their doctor by telephone or call the National Swine Flu Information Line on 0800 1513 513 or NHS Direct on 0845 4647.
