The report said students moving back home at the end of term are more of a concern than those returning to university.
During term time, the potential for"spillover" into the local community around the university will depend on the"level of integration with the wider population" and how the university campus is configured, it added.
The report concluded:"All measures to reduce the risk and size of outbreaks within universities and rapid detection and containment of outbreaks within universities would all help limit transmission to the wider community.Image:Experts on the Children's Task and Finish Group, a subcommittee of SAGE, also raised concerns about the lack of capacity on public transport when all children in England return to school full-time in September.
The document said:"Internal DfT modelling suggests that there is likely to only be capacity to accommodate a minority of children who use public transport to get to school in September, whilst maintaining social distancing. "Alternative modes of transport, or staggered starts, are likely to be necessary. Capacity looks particularly limited in London."
