Popis: This paper uses a variety of analytic and computational models to assess the impact of university student social/study bubbles. Bubbles are being considered as a means to reduce the potential impact of Covid-19 spread within Universities, which may otherwise indirectly cause millions of additional cases in the wider population. The different models agree in broad terms that any breaking of small bubbles into larger units such as a year group or small student halls, will lead to substantial impact on the larger community. This emphasises the need for students to be well-informed and for effective campus test, track and trace.
