The members have been advised to self-isolate and the university said there is "no reason for undue alarm ... confirmation of positive results is entirely to be expected as the pandemic evolves".
From Monday, March 16, all teaching at the university will cease.

The news follows Glasgow Caledonian University's announcement yesterday that all lectures and face-to-face teaching have been cancelled, though the student library will remain open.
This follows the latest figures showing 10 more patients have died in England after testing positive for Covid-19, bringing the coronavirus death toll to 21 in the UK.
A number of the patients, who were over 60, had underlying health conditions, NHS England said.
There has still only been one death in Scotland so far.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
