Three universities in Britain have moved their classes online because of coronavirus outbreaks.

Both colleges in Manchester and the University of Sheffield have temporarily suspended face-to-face teaching.
Meanwhile, Queen's University in Belfast is monitoring an outbreak there after more than 100 students and staff tested positive for the disease.

Nicola Sturgeon is set to announce tougher Covid-19 restrictions for Scotland today.
But the First Minister has already said it won't be another full lockdown.
However she hasn't ruled out the possible closure of pubs and restaurants.
