A Dublin City University statement has been released following rumours that a student of the university had tested positive for coronavirus.
DCU stated that they had been made aware of images and videos circulating on social media on Monday evening which speculated on the health of an individual on campus.
But the university has offered assurances that there is no confirmed case of the Covid-19 outbreak on campus.
A statement reads: "DCU is following all recommended HSE protocols in light of the arrival of the coronavirus in Ireland.
"Any measures taken at this stage are precautionary and in line with best practice.

The Department of Health issued a statement on Tuesday morning, warning social media users to be wary of the spread of misinformation.
